About Colin
Colin Agnew is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. He supports people facing relationship issues, trauma and grief, as well as those struggling with self-esteem, sleep or life changes. Colin works with a broad range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar feelings, parenting pressures and issues linked to identity and intimacy.
Colin brings ten years of experience to his work and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
He blends a human-centred, relational style with elements from several therapeutic traditions. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and focused on what the person wants to change. In practice he listens for patterns in relationships and feelings, then helps people notice what matters most to them.
That might mean clarifying values, addressing attachment difficulties, or working on emotional responses in close relationships. Conversations are paired with practical steps people can try between sessions. Colin offers both face-to-face and online options.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which suit different rhythms of life and communication preferences. International clients may be supported in English. People who choose Colin can expect a collaborative, respectful approach.
He aims to help each person find clearer direction, improved coping and more satisfying connections with others.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colin will discuss options and test what feels helpful together. He aims to tailor the mix of approaches to the person's goals, needs and communication style rather than using a single method for everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing, want ongoing contact between sessions, or need a less formal way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occur.
