About Colin

Colin Frawley offers a straightforward, client-centred way of working. He puts the person's experience first and helps them make practical choices about next steps. Colin has been practising for 12 years and brings calm, steady support to each session.

He uses familiar approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness alongside person-centred listening. Sessions focus on what matters now - managing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, addiction and sleep or eating struggles.

Background and approach

Colin also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues and navigating major life changes. Colin follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework as part of his practice. He combines different methods rather than sticking to a single school of thought.

That lets him match the way he works to each person’s needs and preferences. People come for short-term practical work and for longer conversations about meaning, identity and patterns of behaviour. He pays attention to attachment, trauma and issues such as ADHD or dissociation when they affect daily life.

Sessions aim to be clear and manageable rather than overloaded with jargon. Colin works online with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-centred work puts the person's priorities at the heart of sessions and creates space to talk about what matters most. It helps when someone needs to be heard, to make sense of feelings, or to decide on practical next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful behaviour patterns through practical exercises and small changes.

Mindfulness is used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce rumination. It can be useful for stress, compulsive behaviours and improving attention in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Colin will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their circumstances and adjust the approach as therapy progresses. That way the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging suits ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines and preferences while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
