About Colette
Colette Langridge is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and anger. She works with adults dealing with life changes, career pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Colette uses straightforward, empathetic listening to make space for what matters to each person.
Colette qualified in 2012 and has 12 years' experience in the field. She has more than six years of focused work supporting people affected by sexualised trauma and relational abuse, offering one-to-one support for complex trauma, PTSD and related difficulties. Her background shapes a trauma-informed approach to counselling.
Her practice is integrative. Sessions often centre on the person’s own goals and perspectives, drawing on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what the client brings. Colette may also use psychodynamic ideas to look at early relationships and attachment, or somatic and mindfulness techniques when the body holds stressful memories.
In conversation she aims to be respectful and non-judgemental. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas may be offered when helpful, alongside attention to emotions and physical experience. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than a fixed protocol.
Colette describes counselling as a space to reflect and build new ways of thinking and coping. People who want to improve confidence, process past hurts, or find clearer ways to handle daily pressures can explore these aims together with her.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following what the client brings. It helps people who need space to make sense of feelings and decide their own next steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, and it can help with trust, intimacy and communication difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your needs and preferences and try methods that fit your goals. Together you can adjust the balance of talking, mindfulness or body-aware work as you learn what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or turn off video when that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, cognitive-behavioural tasks and conversational work to remote sessions while helping clients manage practical access and scheduling.
