Colin Agnew , BACP

Colin Agnew is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with many thousands of face-to-face and online counselling hours. He works from a relational and humanistic foundation, combining practical therapeutic techniques with an openness to transpersonal ideas to support clients through change.

Colin believes that, when offered the right conditions and appropriate support, people can make choices that move them toward the goals they want to achieve. His practice emphasises the therapeutic relationship as a central resource - creating a space where exploration, insight, and practical steps can coexist.

Colin holds the BACP credential, which denotes affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects his commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. He integrates multiple approaches to suit each individual, tailoring sessions to the client’s needs and preferences while maintaining a compassionate, goal-oriented focus.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Colin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and develop practical skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings - this approach focuses on committed action toward a meaningful life rather than struggling to eliminate painful experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns of relating and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how early and current relationships shape reactions and expectations in close connections. Client-Centered Therapy provides a non-directive, empathetic environment where the client’s own pace and perspective guide the work, supporting self-discovery and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Colin works with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the way he uses these approaches as the therapeutic work unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most effective for the individual.
