Colin Agnew, BACP

Colin Agnew is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who has completed many thousands of hours of face-to-face and online counselling. He works from a relational and humanistic foundation, drawing on principles from Transpersonal Psychology to inform his practice and support deeper exploration of meaning and connection.

Colin combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, person-centered stance, aiming to create the conditions in which clients can make the choices that move them toward their goals. He sees therapy as a collaborative process that honours each person’s experience and capacity for change.

Colin is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. He offers both in-person and online work, tailoring his approach to the needs of individuals facing issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and attachment difficulties, trauma, depression, and other life challenges.

Therapeutic approaches for online relational work

Colin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and to identify values-based actions that support a more meaningful life. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relationship patterns and early bonds that shape current connections. It supports people dealing with intimacy issues, attachment difficulties, family problems, and relationship distress by helping them understand and shift long-standing interaction styles.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and non-judgmental support to foster self-understanding and growth. This way of working can be helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief, and navigating major life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Colin will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts his style as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with Colin is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those who live some distance away. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from registered professionals in a way that suits each person’s life.
