Colin Agnew helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and depression. He also supports those dealing with grief, parenting pressures, sleep problems, anger and self-esteem difficulties. Colin is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom and online.

Colin works in a warm, relational way. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on small, practical steps that make a real difference. He draws on approaches that help people notice what gets in the way, make clearer choices and rebuild closer emotional connections.

Background and approach

His practice blends acceptance and commitment ideas with attachment-aware and client-centred methods. That means Colin helps people learn to live with difficult feelings while also looking at patterns in close relationships. He uses this mix to support people with addiction, intimacy issues, ADHD-related challenges and a wide range of life changes.

Colin has delivered many hours of face-to-face and online counselling. Over a decade he has worked with people from varied backgrounds and with diverse concerns, including men’s issues, fatherhood, and recovery from domestic violence or substance misuse. He brings practical tools and steady listening to each session.

Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the scheduling options available.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Colin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn to act in line with their values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress and coping with difficult emotions by focusing on actions that matter.

He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that affect close relationships. This approach helps people understand how early bonds shape current intimacy and connection difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Colin will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit your situation. The choice of approach is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions; phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited; messaging can be used for short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while still accessing registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
