He also supports those facing parenting challenges, addiction, grief and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Colin brings ten years of clinical experience to his work in the United Kingdom.
Colin follows a relational, humanistic way of working. Sessions focus on building trust and a respectful connection first. He uses conversation and reflection to help clients notice patterns and make different choices in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to look at values, connection and how past relationships shape current behaviour. Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused approaches inform the room’s pace and tone, keeping the client’s experience central. Existential thinking is used when people want to look at meaning, purpose and big life choices.
Colin works with adults on many concerns including parenting stress, addictions, ADHD, compassion fatigue and fatherhood issues. He also supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence aftermath, bipolar mood challenges and career changes. Practical coping strategies are paired with exploration of feelings and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and trust, and it helps people change how they connect with others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on treating the person with empathy and respect, which supports self-exploration and building inner resources.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colin will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and together they will try approaches that fit. The process is collaborative and can combine methods to meet practical concerns alongside emotional exploration.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are handy for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, and to access registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
