Colette Langridge, NCPS

Colette Langridge is a counsellor who qualified in 2012 and brings twelve years of clinical experience to her practice. She works from a trauma-informed perspective and has more than six years of focused experience supporting people who have experienced sexualised trauma and abuse. Her background includes one-to-one work with clients who have faced relational trauma, sexual violence, childhood abuse, and related mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and Complex PTSD.

Colette uses an integrative approach, tailoring interventions to each person rather than applying a single method to everyone. She draws on a range of clinical approaches including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to address issues such as relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career stresses, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her work often explores early attachment and family-of-origin patterns alongside present-day difficulties, and she recognises the ways that the body can hold memory by using somatic and sensorimotor-informed techniques as appropriate. Colette aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where clients can reflect on their past and build new ways of thinking that support wellbeing and greater confidence. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that indicates specialised training and experience in the field.
