About Colin

Colin Frawley is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has 12 years of practice and works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, addictions, depression and bereavement. He also supports people facing relationship strain, self-esteem issues and difficulties with sleep and eating.

Colin uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. He explains things plainly and helps people weigh options and make decisions that suit their life. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.

His background includes experience across many areas of therapy, which he applies flexibly depending on what each person needs. That includes work with trauma and intimacy-related issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He understands professional standards through the BACP framework and applies them in his practice.

In conversation he aims to be direct and clear. He will listen for what causes most distress, and then suggest techniques or ways of thinking to try between sessions. This may include simple mindfulness practices or exercises to test unhelpful thoughts.

Colin accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the person and their priorities at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without steering, then reflects what matters most and works from those priorities. This helps with issues like anxiety and relationship concerns where personal values and choices are central.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and try different responses. This can be useful for stress, panic, social worries and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adapt them as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Some formats may use less bandwidth or avoid video if that helps someone manage their focus or energy. Registered and accredited professionals can offer these flexible arrangements to fit everyday life.
