About Colin
Colin Frawley is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. Colin also addresses concerns linked to trauma, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger and ADHD in everyday, practical terms.
Colin uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on what matters most to the person in front of him. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. He also brings in existential and Jungian perspectives when themes about meaning, identity or inner patterns are relevant.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Colin helps people talk through current problems, past events that keep affecting them, and ways to manage overwhelming feelings. He pays attention to patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and staying in relationships that take more than they give.
He has worked across a wide range of issues including bereavement, addiction and brain injury as well as long-term mood and anxiety problems. That breadth means he is used to blending different approaches and explaining options in plain language.
Colin follows the BACP Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework and works with clients who prefer English. International clients can be accepted; confirm session arrangements before booking. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Colin uses therapeutic approaches online
Colin commonly brings together client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy is about listening carefully and helping the person set the agenda; it suits people who need space to say what matters and to work out their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and problem habits.Finding the right mix is part of the work. Colin will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then suggest approaches to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work breaks or travel, and some formats can be shorter or audio only if that suits practical needs. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions help people maintain continuity of care without needing to travel.
