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 supporting adults through life changes and difficult emotions. Colin works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and grief, and he lists life purpose among his focuses.

In sessions Colin uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. He aims to give people space to talk through what matters to them and to notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations tend to be practical and focused on small shifts that make daily life easier.

Colin also describes elements from existential and Jungian thinking in his work. That can mean looking at meaning, values and personal themes that repeat over time. He helps people consider how choices and responsibilities shape the next steps in life without promising particular outcomes.

Clients can expect a steady, collaborative style that explores emotions, behaviour and thinking. Colin names a wide range of areas he has worked with, including ADHD, bipolar, intimacy issues, body image and compassion fatigue. He brings experience across common and complex presentations.

Colin practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Colin’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Colin blends client-centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness in his practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them clarify values and decisions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Colin collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. He will review what helps and adjust the plan as sessions progress so the approach remains practical and relevant.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often adapt techniques such as CBT exercises and mindfulness practices effectively to remote sessions, helping people manage everyday stressors and life changes while keeping therapy accessible.
