Colette Langridge , NCPS

Colette Langridge is an experienced counsellor who qualified in 2012 and brings 12 years of clinical practice to her work. She offers trauma-informed therapy with particular experience in sexualised trauma and abuse, providing one-to-one support for people who have faced relational trauma, sexual violence, childhood abuse, and related mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and Complex PTSD. Colette combines a warm, respectful therapeutic stance with practical interventions so clients feel heard and supported as they work through difficult experiences.

Her practice is integrative, drawing on psychodynamic perspectives to explore early life and attachment influences, while also attending to how trauma can be held in the body through sensorimotor-informed techniques and mindfulness practices. This blend of approaches allows her to tailor support to each person's needs, addressing symptoms as well as underlying patterns that affect relationships, self-esteem and daily functioning.

Colette holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy that reflects her training and commitment to ongoing professional development. She aims to create a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship that helps clients reflect on the past, build confidence and develop new ways of coping and relating that enhance overall wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Colette commonly integrates attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. This approach helps clients understand and shift the ways they relate to partners, family and themselves. Psychodynamic therapy is also a key element of her practice, inviting gentle exploration of childhood experiences and family-of-origin themes that may underlie enduring emotional difficulties and relationship struggles.

Mindfulness-oriented techniques are used alongside these methods to help clients notice present-moment experience and regulate stress or overwhelming emotions. These practices can be helpful for anxiety, depressive symptoms and somatic reactions that surface after trauma.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Colette works with each person to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, and she adjusts the therapeutic plan as understanding deepens. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, accommodate mobility or caregiving demands, and support clients across different locations and time zones. Licensed professionals and therapists can provide meaningful, effective support through these flexible formats.
