Colin Frawley, BACP, NCPS

Colin Frawley is a counsellor who works in a client-centred way. He focuses on helping people understand what matters to them and make clearer choices about next steps. Colin brings 12 years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

Colin uses straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and difficulties with self-esteem. He addresses a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

His approach draws on client-centred practice alongside cognitive behavioural ideas, existential thinking and Jungian perspectives. Colin mixes these styles to suit each person rather than following one rigid method. He aims to keep sessions practical so people leave with clear ideas they can try between meetings.

Colin often helps people with attachment and abandonment worries, body image and sexual subculture topics such as BDSM and kink. He also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and co-morbidity where several problems overlap. These areas are handled with attention to each person’s history and current goals.

He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework and applies those standards in his work. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to what fits their schedule.

How Colin’s therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people find their own answers and build confidence in decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them. These approaches suit stress, anxiety, mood difficulties and many everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Colin treats it as a collaboration, trying methods and checking what helps most. He will discuss goals and preferences, then steer sessions toward the mix that best fits the client's needs.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific formats are not detailed here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and allows people to attend from different locations. It can reduce travel time, make shorter check-ins possible during a work break, or allow someone to avoid being on camera when they prefer audio only. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices so they work well in remote sessions.
