About Colette
Colette Langridge NCPS helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and depression. She is experienced supporting those dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem problems. Colette also offers support for career concerns, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue, and has worked with adults affected by ADHD and related challenges.
She trained as a counsellor and has practised since 2012, bringing 12 years of professional experience. Colette uses an integrative approach that adapts to each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficult feelings, and building practical ways to feel steadier day to day.
Her work often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at connection patterns from early life. She may also use psychodynamic exploration to consider how past relationships influence current choices and mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used where helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative ways of responding.
Colette is familiar with trauma-informed care and has specific experience supporting people affected by sexualised trauma and relational abuse. That background informs how she works gently with memories and strong emotions, and how she responds to dissociation or somatic symptoms.
She aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can reflect and try new ways of thinking and acting. Starting therapy is a significant step, and Colette focuses on practical progress alongside understanding the past.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It looks at patterns of connection and helps people try new ways of relating when old patterns cause anxiety or distance.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s priorities, which can help with low self-esteem, decision making and building confidence.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thoughts and testing alternatives in everyday life. It is practical for anxiety, depression and work-related stress where small changes in thinking lead to different behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust them if something does not fit, keeping the process collaborative.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins or phone conversations simpler when they need them, while others prefer longer video sessions to talk things through. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they fit around work and family life.
