About Colin
Colin Agnew is a counsellor and psychotherapist working from a human-centred, relational approach. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also supports clients dealing with grief, intimacy problems, parenting concerns and career questions.
Colin draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas to notice how feelings shape relationships and personal habits. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and person-centred methods to help people build acceptance and take steps that match their values.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at making small changes that feel manageable. Colin has around ten years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has worked in both face-to-face and online settings and the focus is on adapting work to each person's needs and pace.
The tone is straightforward and respectful during sessions. People who come to Colin often want to understand patterns that keep returning in their life. He helps identify those patterns, look at the emotions behind them, and try new ways of responding.
He also offers coaching-style support when clients want practical steps for work, wellbeing or life changes. Every plan is shaped by what the client hopes to change. Colin invites people to bring what matters most and to move at a pace that feels right for them.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Colin works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful emotional cycles, which can help with relationship stress, intimacy worries and patterns that feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and taking small committed actions that lead to a more meaningful life. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Colin will talk through what you hope to change, try methods that match your goals, and adapt the mix as progress is made. The client and counsellor choose the pace and focus collaboratively, and methods can shift over time if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into short breaks or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging offers shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflection between longer sessions.
