About Colette
Colette Langridge is a counsellor (NCPS) practising since 2012 in the United Kingdom. She has 12 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting challenges and related concerns. Colette also works with issues such as intimacy, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Her style is collaborative and person-centred. Sessions focus on listening first, then helping people name the problem and try practical steps. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at early attachment and family of origin issues when these are relevant.
Colette describes trauma-informed work as a major part of her practice. She has more than six years' focused experience supporting people affected by sexualised trauma and relational abuse. That work included one-to-one support for people with PTSD and complex trauma reactions.
She often uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness exercises and simple somatic or sensorimotor techniques can be used to manage anxiety and physical stress in the body.
People who choose to work with her can expect practical conversations about current difficulties alongside reflection on past experiences that still affect day-to-day life. Sessions aim to increase confidence, reduce overwhelm and improve ways of coping, with attention to family and parenting concerns when they arise.
How sessions work
Therapy approaches and working online
Colette uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach can help when worries stem from repeat relationship problems or attachment-related distress.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify thought patterns and try practical steps that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT tools are useful for everyday coping and changing unhelpful routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean mixing attachment work, CBT and some mindfulness or somatic techniques over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around parenting, work and other daily tasks. It can also allow shorter check-ins, fewer travel demands and quieter surroundings when those practical benefits matter. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a plan that suits each person's life and schedule.
