About Colette
Colette Langridge is a counsellor with 12 years' experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She offers a calm, listening presence and practical guidance to help someone who feels overwhelmed or stuck. Colette works with concerns like grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, low self esteem and career worries.
She brings an integrative style to sessions, shaping work around each person's needs rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
Conversations often look at how early relationships and attachment patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness are used alongside longer-term reflection when helpful. Colette has specific experience supporting people affected by sexualised trauma and relational abuse, and she has worked with responses such as PTSD and complex trauma.
That background informs a sensitive pace and attention to how trauma can show up in the body and daily life. In sessions she aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly and try out new ways of coping. Work may include short-term strategies for immediate relief and deeper exploration to change patterns that keep causing pain.
Colette holds the NCPS credential. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers online options for people who cannot meet in person. The approach is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on small, realistic steps toward feeling more in control.
How Colette's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape how someone relates now. Online work can help people notice patterns in relationships and try out different ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics; this suits people wanting an accepting space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and test which methods feel most useful. Sessions often blend short-term coping skills with exploration of longer‑standing patterns so the plan evolves with what the client needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face contact and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family and other commitments while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
