Colin Frawley, BACP, NCPS

Colin Frawley offers a client-centred approach that places the person and their choices at the heart of therapy. He uses a conversational style to help people understand their feelings and make changes that matter to them. Colin holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings 12 years of practice to his work in the United Kingdom.

He blends Client-Centred, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to suit each person's situation. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Colin helps people unpick stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and low self-esteem through steady, manageable steps.

Colin also works with issues such as relationship and intimacy difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleeping and eating problems, anger and career concerns. He has experience supporting people facing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. His additional focus areas include attachment concerns, body image, codependency and the dynamics of kink and alternative sex culture.

His way of working is flexible and collaborative. He listens first, then adapts methods such as CBT or mindfulness to a person's goals. Colin aims to make sessions feel useful from the start, with clear next steps between meetings.

Colin follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework and uses that guidance in his practice. If someone wants to begin, they are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and building a trusting conversation. Online sessions use that same focus to help people feel heard and to clarify what they want from therapy.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small practical changes. Over video or phone, CBT can be used to set tasks, rehearse new ways of responding and track progress between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can be practised together during a session and then used in everyday moments to manage stress and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session logistics are best checked before booking since the biography does not list formats. Confirm the available options when you arrange meetings. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time, while still focusing on practical change and steady progress.
