About Colin

Colin Agnew is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also supports those dealing with trauma, depression, grief, parenting strain and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Colin’s practice is relevant for people facing life changes, career questions, ADHD concerns and men’s issues among many others.

Colin works from a relational and humanistic base. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment‑Based work, Emotionally‑Focused Therapy and Client‑Centred methods.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with space to talk through feelings and try new ways of coping. He describes his practice as integrative, meaning he blends ideas to suit each person rather than using one fixed method. This helps when someone brings complex or overlapping issues like addiction and trauma, or anxiety alongside sleep problems.

Colin has around 10 years of practice experience and lists membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. His experience includes a large number of face‑to‑face and online hours, so he is comfortable delivering sessions in different formats. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people based in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

People can expect a calm, steady approach that focuses on what they want to change and practical steps to get there.

Ways of working Colin names

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

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people focus on what matters to them and take small steps towards those values even when difficult feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping people understand and change repeating cycles that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Colin will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what fits best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods may be blended or adjusted as the work develops.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see and be seen for fuller conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check‑in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit short updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still using the same therapeutic approaches a therapist would use in person.
