About Colin
Colin Frawley is a counsellor who prioritises a client-centred approach. He focuses on helping people make gradual, practical changes and supports them in making informed decisions about their lives. Colin has worked in the field for 12 years and brings steady, down-to-earth guidance to sessions.
He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. He also uses Jungian and existential ideas to look at meaning, identity and the stories people tell about themselves.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are offered when they fit the person’s needs and rhythm. Colin notes a wide range of issues he has supported, including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also addresses relationship concerns, sexual intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career questions.
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, attachment and abandonment themes, body image and chronic illness related worries. He works in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Colin aims to be practical in sessions, offering tools to use between meetings as well as time for reflection during them.
Sessions are offered in English and he supports international clients. People who want to try working with him complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions online according to the available times.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Colin treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision based on the person’s goals, preferences and life situation. He will discuss options and adjust the approach as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for sustained conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on real-world changes.
