Colette Langridge

Colette Langridge is a counsellor who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She supports those dealing with trauma, grief, low self esteem and parenting pressures. Her work also covers career worries, coping with change, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

Colette brings 12 years of experience and works in a way that adapts to each person. Conversations are straightforward and practical. She listens and helps people make sense of painful experiences so they can move forward.

Her background includes a focus on trauma and abuse, including sexualised trauma and relational harm. That work involved one-to-one support for people with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic reactions and complex difficulties. Those years shaped how she responds to distress and safety concerns.

Colette uses an integrative style. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at early relationships, psychodynamic thinking to consider patterns from the past, and somatic or sensorimotor techniques when the body holds memory. Cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness also feature when helpful for practical changes.

Sessions aim to build confidence, reduce intense reactions and improve coping. Colette encourages small, steady steps and practical tools alongside reflective work. Beginning therapy is framed as a decision to try something different and to create clearer ways of managing emotions and relationships.

How Colette’s approaches work in online therapy

Colette often draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current reactions and help people notice patterns in closeness and conflict. Client-centred work focuses on listening, validation and helping people find their own direction rather than giving advice.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses. CBT-style steps can help reduce intense emotional reactions and change practical habits that feed anger or anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to find what fits best for the person's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean a focus on understanding relationship patterns some weeks and practical coping skills in others.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule around work or childcare. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and grounding techniques to an online setting so people can continue progress from home.
