About Colin
Colin Frawley is a counsellor who focuses on practical, person-centred care for people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. He uses a straightforward style and aims to help people feel more in control of day-to-day life. Colin holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings 12 years of experience to his work.
Colin offers short, clear conversations that help people identify what matters most to them. He listens first, then suggests small changes to make a difference.
Background and approach
These changes can cover sleep, eating, coping with loss, or managing strong emotions. He blends several approaches so sessions fit the person rather than the other way round. That can mean using practical thinking tools from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside person-centred listening and mindful awareness exercises.
Colin adapts the mix to the issues a person brings, whether it is anxiety, addiction, grief or problems with self-esteem. Colin has worked with many common life challenges over a long career. He draws on experience with change, trauma, relationship problems and long-term mood conditions to shape realistic steps forward.
He keeps language plain and aims for therapy that people can use between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a time is arranged that suits the client.
Approach and online options for talking therapy
Colin commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy means the person sets the pace and focus while the counsellor listens and reflects. This is helpful for building trust and clarifying what matters. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) involves noticing patterns of unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Colin discusses different ways of working at the start and adjusts methods as goals evolve. This collaborative planning helps make sure sessions match the person's needs, pace and preferences rather than sticking to one format.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer writing, need brief daily support, or cannot be on camera. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on achievable steps and steady progress.
