About Colin

Colin Frawley is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people through difficult times. He aims to create a calm space where practical steps and honest conversation can move a person forward. Colin holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has twelve years of experience working with a wide range of concerns.

Colin often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours.

Background and approach

He also draws on trauma-focused ideas when past hurts are getting in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions focus on what someone wants to change and on simple, do-able strategies to get there. He regularly supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and grief.

Other areas he helps with include self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, ADHD and coping with life changes. Colin also works with concerns such as body image, attachment issues, codependency and dissociation.

Colin applies the BACP Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework in his work and takes a pluralistic view, mixing approaches to suit the person in front of him. He aims for clear, straightforward therapy that respects each person's pace and choices. His practice is based in the United Kingdom and he offers sessions in English.

People who choose to work with him can expect collaborative planning, routine reviews of progress and practical tools to try between sessions. The focus is on small, steady changes that build confidence and reduce distress over time.

Ways of working Colin names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How his approaches work online

Colin draws on client-centred work to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. That means the counsellor listens closely, checks what matters most and shapes sessions around the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviours between sessions; this can help with anxiety, low mood and stress in clear, practical steps.

He also applies trauma-focused ideas when past events affect daily life, focusing on stabilisation and coping strategies before moving on to deeper material. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist and client review what is helping and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to find a way of working that fits the person's goals and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short practical check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for work around busy days, travel or different communication preferences.
