About Colin

Colin Agnew is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He uses a personable, relational style to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship pain, trauma and abuse, depression and LGBT-related concerns. He also supports people dealing with grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Colin works from a human-centred perspective that values the therapeutic relationship. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on practical steps that can be tried between meetings.

Background and approach

He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and emotionally-focused work to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. His approach is also informed by attachment-based and existential ideas. That means attention to how early bonds shape current relationships and to questions about meaning and purpose.

Colin aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk honestly about difficult feelings and everyday struggles. Colin holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. He has around ten years of experience working in face-to-face and online settings.

He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit both parties.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Colin’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and then take small practical steps towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, addiction and for coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns show up in adult connections and helps people try new ways of relating that reduce loneliness and conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Colin treats the choice of method as collaborative and will discuss what feels most useful based on a person’s goals and experience. He adapts techniques to suit individual preferences, testing what helps and adjusting when needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or who want brief, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship and the changes the client wants to make.
