About Colin
Colin Agnew is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain and grief. He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. Colin works with issues related to LGBT identity, bipolar mood fluctuations, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
He uses a relational, human-centred style and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Colin combines conversational work with targeted techniques. That includes hypnotherapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed methods.
Background and approach
He aims to make things practical in the room. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps people can take between meetings. His background is broadly integrative and influenced by transpersonal psychology.
That means he pays attention to relationships, meaning and personal values as well as symptoms. He has around ten years of experience working in face-to-face and online settings, and he holds BACP accreditation - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Colin adapts his pace to each person.
Some clients prefer conversational exploration. Others want structured techniques or brief coaching-style work. He will agree goals and review progress so people know whether their approach is helping.
Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can be seen in English. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
How online sessions use practical approaches
Colin often draws on hypnotherapy to help calm the body and reduce unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy is used as a guided process that can support sleep difficulties, anxiety and habit change when it fits a person's goals.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which focuses on values and small committed actions. ACT helps people cope with difficult thoughts and move towards a life that matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand he uses to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and feeling safe with others.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Colin will discuss options with each person and tailor sessions to their needs and preferences. Together they set goals, try methods and check progress to find what helps best.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls suit people who have less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can fit short check-ins or when someone needs written reflection between sessions.
