About Colette
Colette Langridge is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship or intimacy concerns, parenting strains and work-related stress. She also supports people struggling with self-esteem, anger, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Colette qualified in 2012 and brings 12 years of experience to her practice, drawing on several complementary approaches to meet each person's needs. Her work is practical and conversational.
Background and approach
Sessions begin by listening and understanding what matters most to the person. She adapts her style to suit each client, using straightforward techniques rather than jargon. The aim is to help people feel safer in their day-to-day lives and find clearer ways to manage symptoms and relationships.
Colette uses a blend of approaches. She often draws on trauma-focused methods alongside attachment-based ideas to look at important relationships and how early experiences affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises are used to teach coping skills and reduce overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
She also pays attention to the body, using somatic ideas when memories or tension show up physically. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to consider family of origin issues or longstanding patterns that keep causing trouble. This flexible mix is selected with the person in the room, rather than following one fixed model.
Colette works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and available in a variety of online formats. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Colette often blends trauma-focused therapy with attachment-based ideas. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events and reduce the intensity of painful memories and reactions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness, and helps people recognise and change repeating patterns.She also uses client-centred methods to keep the work grounded in the person’s priorities. Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and respected while the client guides the pace and focus of each session. This collaborative stance helps tailor techniques to the individual rather than imposing a single path.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that feel most useful. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for how work is scheduled and delivered. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when useful, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or when being on camera is difficult. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions around work, caregiving or travel and keep continuity of care across locations.
