Colin Frawley, BACP, NCPS

Colin Frawley is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. He focuses on helping people facing midlife questions, stress, anxiety and life changes. He aims to help people make clear decisions and feel more able in day-to-day life.

Colin brings 12 years of experience to his work. He follows the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and is also listed with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He uses practical conversations and simple tools so people can try things between sessions.

His practice draws on a mix of approaches, including Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and ideas from Jungian and existential thinking. That mix lets him adapt to what each person needs rather than using the same plan for everyone.

People come to him for many concerns. These include grief, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma-related problems, sleep and eating issues, attention difficulties, and coping with big life transitions. He also supports people dealing with anger, compassion fatigue and career uncertainty.

In sessions Colin aims to create a straightforward space to talk, reflect and try practical steps. He works with each person at their pace and helps them clarify goals, plan small changes and review progress along the way.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions through empathic, non-directive conversation. It suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship questions and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and mood difficulties.

Colin treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress is reviewed. Goals and preferences shape the plan rather than a fixed protocol.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Different approaches can be used over remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss what suits your needs and circumstances during the first meetings.
