About Us

At Jygzaw, we are dedicated to providing compassionate therapy for addiction, trauma, and abuse across the UK and Ireland, helping you reclaim your life.

Created by Lead Therapist Colin Craig, a Belfast born and bred local man with the experience of growing up in Troubles affected Northern Ireland, Jygzaw was designed to be professional, client centred, and affordable to anyone suffering any mental health issues, particularly those associated with growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles era. Serving as a remote therapy service Colin had received a lot of customer feedback through in person sessions that clients experienced high levels of anxiety when going to their sessions, particularly in the early days of their journey. By offering remote sessions the clients stated that they were much more relaxed, firstly by being in familiar surroundings, and secondly having their anxiety reduced by not having to travel to their in person sessions they were able to discuss more freely their issues.

Originally a Chef by trade, Colin came into the therapy support world through sad circumstances. His very close friend, more like his brother as they had shared a very similar upbringing in Belfast from the age of 4 together, had attempted to take his own life and miraculously survived the attempt. During his friend's recovery he gravitated towards Colin a lot in the early days for support, mainly due to severe trust issues. Realising he had no experience whatsoever in supporting his friend's recovery journey let alone anyone recovering from such trauma, he began to educate himself on the issues his friend was facing. As time went by his friend made the most amazing recovery and Colin went on to study various Diplomas until he became a professional counsellor. However, due to being of a certain age (ahem) and with no previous experience Colin found it impossible to get a job as a therapist. Rejected time and again, he eventually decided enough was enough on that front and so Jygzaw was born as he realised that just because he never came from that profession he still had so much to offer people with both his life experience and education. Every day Jygzaw has grown into being a professional therapy service offering unparalleled support for their clients and feeling absolutely privileged in being part of their recovery journey.
