About Colette
Colette Langridge is a counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years’ experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger and related problems. Her work also covers parenting concerns, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career stress and coping with life changes.
Colette uses an integrative approach and adapts her way of working to each person. Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life problems. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early attachment and family of origin issues shape current patterns.
She also weaves in cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and practical ways of changing reactions. Mindfulness practices and somatic awareness are used to help people notice physical signals and calm intense emotions. This can be useful for anger that shows up as tension or sudden outbursts.
Colette has specific experience supporting people affected by sexualised trauma and relational abuse. That work included one-to-one support for people with anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex PTSD. She recognises the way trauma can affect behaviour, relationships and self-worth over time.
Her sessions aim to help people reflect on patterns, try small changes and build steadier coping. Getting started involves a short practical matching process and booking a first appointment. Colette offers work in English and accepts international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Colette uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current reactions. This approach looks at patterns of relating and can help with issues such as trust, intimacy and repeated conflict. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides clear, practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses in day-to-day life. Mindfulness and somatic awareness help people notice bodily signs of stress and practise simple grounding or breathing exercises to reduce overheating of emotion.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Colette will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus more on insight, practical skills or body-based regulation.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel, or to choose a shorter check-in when time is tight. They also allow for not needing to travel and can help people keep therapy in step with everyday life while trying different approaches.
