About Colin
Colin Frawley is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has 12 years of practice and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and anger. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy questions as well as issues linked to identity and LGBT matters.
Colin uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person’s experience first. He combines that with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and change unhelpful responses. He describes his style as integrative and pluralistic, drawing from different models to fit what the individual needs.
In sessions he helps people talk through grief, compulsive behaviours, sleep and eating problems, and difficulties with attention and mood. He also works with longer-standing concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment and codependency. He pays attention to both immediate coping and longer-term personal patterns.
Colin has a working knowledge of professional standards and applies the BACP Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework in his practice. That shapes how he conducts sessions and the boundaries he keeps. He aims to help people make clearer decisions about next steps in their lives.
People choosing Colin can expect practical conversations that mix listening with doable techniques. He will often suggest small experiments to try between sessions. He accepts clients from the UK and international enquiries are welcomed.
How counselling approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s viewpoint. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on open conversation, building clarity about feelings and practical next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy breaks problems into patterns of thoughts, feelings and actions; online CBT sessions often include structured exercises and homework to change unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colin will discuss options and agree a plan with the client based on their concerns, goals and preferences. That means trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting it if it does not fit.
The practical benefit of remote counselling is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking as details should be checked with him. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and schedule appointments around work or family commitments. Many people find it simple to mix listening, skills practice and short between-session tasks when therapy happens remotely.
