Colette Langridge, NCPS

Colette Langridge NCPS helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the lasting impact of trauma. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, anger and self‑esteem. Her work includes attention to ADHD and issues linked to ageing and geriatric concerns. Colette draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs.

Colette trained as a counsellor and has practised since 2012, bringing 12 years of experience to her work. She has over six years of focused experience supporting people who have survived sexualised trauma and abuse. In session she listens closely and builds a respectful working relationship rather than telling people what to do.

Her style is flexible and integrative. Conversations can look at early life and attachment patterns using psychodynamic ideas. Sessions may also use cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and make simple behaviour changes.

Colette notices how the body can hold memory and sometimes brings in gentle somatic or sensorimotor techniques. Mindfulness skills are used to help with grounding and present‑moment noticing. The overall aim is practical: to reduce distress and improve day‑to‑day coping.

People who choose Colette often want a thoughtful, steady counsellor who pays attention to relationships and past wounds while also working on present difficulties. She encourages small steps that build confidence and clearer ways of handling life changes and caregiving stresses.

How Colette’s approaches translate to online therapy

Colette uses Attachment‑Based and Client‑Centred ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Attachment‑Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand their emotional responses. Client‑Centred therapy focuses on being heard and respected, helping people talk through difficult feelings at their own pace. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colette will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit best with their goals and needs. That collaborative process can mean combining approaches across sessions as things change.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut out travel, or allow shorter check‑in meetings when time is tight. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from a quiet room or who want to focus on talking and exercises rather than in‑person routines. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT homework to work well in remote sessions.
