Colette Langridge, NCPS

Colette Langridge is a counsellor who qualified in 2012 and brings 12 years of professional experience to her practice. She offers trauma-informed therapy and has more than six years of focused experience supporting people affected by sexualised trauma and abuse. In that role she provided one-to-one support for individuals who have experienced a range of traumatic events, including relational trauma, sexual violence, childhood abuse, and related mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and Complex PTSD.

Colette works in an integrative way, tailoring her approach to each person rather than following a single method. She often draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore early life and attachment patterns, and she recognises the ways memory and emotion can appear in the body, using sensorimotor resourcing techniques alongside mindfulness practices. Her approach aims to be respectful and non-judgmental, offering a therapeutic relationship where people can explore difficult material and develop new ways of thinking and coping.

Colette holds the NCPS credential, which indicates she meets recognised professional standards. She encourages those considering counselling to view the first step as an opportunity to reflect on the past and to build greater confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing through collaborative work.
