Colin Chapman

Colin Chapman offers a warm, empathetic and confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement. His integrative approach draws on a range of therapeutic models and is rooted in person-centred principles, valuing each client’s inherent capacity for growth. Recognising the realities of time-limited therapy, particularly within an NHS setting, he helps clients identify and work towards meaningful goals, often incorporating Solution-Focused techniques. He is particularly committed to supporting LGBTQIA+ clients to navigate questions of identity, build self-esteem and feel more at ease in who they are. Whether exploring patterns in relationships, managing stress and anxiety, or strengthening a sense of self, he tailors the therapeutic process to each individual’s unique needs.

Before training as a counsellor, Colin worked across creative, media, tech and e-commerce sectors, mentoring and leading teams. This experience provides him with a grounded understanding of workplace pressures, career transitions and the challenges of balancing personal and professional life. His background in qualitative research—listening deeply to people’s stories and experiences—closely informs his therapeutic practice, fostering an ability to hold space with curiosity and care. Having worked internationally and written about culture and identity, he brings a sensitive, inclusive perspective to counselling, alongside his own experience of major life transitions. He is also a keen practitioner of breathwork and yoga, which underpins his holistic interest in wellbeing.

Colin is an integrative counsellor in training and a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working towards a diploma in integrative counselling. He currently sees NHS patients in Lambeth.
