Colin Frawley, BACP, NCPS

Colin Frawley is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people find more clarity in difficult times. He draws on a mix of talking methods to help clients feel heard and make choices that suit their lives. Colin brings 12 years of experience, and he works with adults on a wide range of concerns.

Colin focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for problems such as anxiety, depression, stress and addictions. He also helps people struggling with grief, self-esteem, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are paced to match what each person needs.

His practice also covers concerns like eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. He offers support around neurodiversity issues such as autism and ADHD, and attends to matters like attachment, abandonment and body image. Colin also listens without judgement about alternative sexual cultures and kink.

Colin draws on a range of therapeutic influences including cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, Jungian thinking and existential questions. He blends these approaches to suit each person rather than following a single formula. That way the work stays practical and relevant.

He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works with people across the United Kingdom and beyond. Colin aims to create a straightforward space for talking, for making sense of feelings, and for finding manageable steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Colin often uses client-centred work that focuses on the person's own priorities and pace. This approach aims to make people feel listened to and respected, which can help when dealing with anxiety, grief or self-esteem problems.

He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and helps people try out new ways of coping. CBT can be useful for stress, low mood, sleep problems and many forms of anxiety. Mindfulness practice is another strand Colin uses to help people anchor attention, reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult feelings.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. Colin will discuss different options and tailor a blend of methods to match a person's goals and preferences. That means the plan can change as work progresses and as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel and family commitments.
