About Colette
Colette Langridge is a counsellor with twelve years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, grief, anger and self-esteem. She also works with career changes, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ADHD.
Colette qualified in 2012 and holds NCPS, which appears on her profile. She has specialised experience working with sexualised trauma and abuse, and has provided one-to-one support for people affected by relational trauma, sexual violence and childhood abuse.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with PTSD and complex trauma presentations. Her approach is integrative and tailored to each person. Sessions often draw on attachment-based ideas to notice relational patterns, client-centred listening to follow what matters to the client, and psychodynamic thinking to consider earlier life influences.
Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices are also used to help manage thoughts and emotions in the moment. Colette pays attention to how difficult memories can show up in the body, and may include gentle somatic or sensorimotor techniques when helpful. She aims for a calm, respectful atmosphere where people can talk things through without judgement.
The work is practical and paced according to individual needs. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Colette encourages a thoughtful, collaborative start. She aims to help people build new ways of coping, strengthen self-esteem and move towards clearer decision making in everyday life.

How Colette works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Colette aims to work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She will check in and adapt techniques as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also help people access a therapist who has particular trauma experience even when they live far away. Discuss practical arrangements and what will best suit everyday life when you start the matching process.
