About Colin
Colin Agnew is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and depression. He also works with issues such as grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems, anger, parenting strains and questions about identity and life purpose. Colin uses a person-centred approach to create a steady, respectful space for people to talk through what matters to them.
He draws on ten years of clinical experience and many hours of both face-to-face and online work.
Background and approach
That background shapes a calm, relational style that aims to build trust and clarity. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Colin’s practice is influenced by Jungian ideas and transpersonal psychology, alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy.
This mix lets him attend to feelings, personal meaning and relationships together. He tailors the mix depending on what each person brings to the room. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That is noted as a professional affiliation. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged online for international clients. People can expect straightforward conversations, reflective listening and gentle challenges when helpful.
The emphasis is on helping clients notice patterns, make grounded choices and develop ways to cope between sessions.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and change
Colin blends Jungian-informed work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address emotional and relational concerns. Jungian ideas help people look at personal symbols, dreams and life themes to find deeper meaning in difficult experiences. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking action that reflects personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust, intimacy and reactions to stress.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. This means the work can move between exploring meaning, building practical coping skills and improving connection in relationships depending on what the client needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel or other commitments and let people try different ways of talking to see what helps most.
