Colin Frawley offers a calm, client-centred way of working that helps people tackle stress, anxiety, addiction and loss. He introduces straightforward tools and steady listening so a person can make clearer choices about their life. Colin draws on many approaches and aims to meet people where they are.

He has 12 years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Colin uses practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness exercises.

Background and approach

He also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when they fit a person’s needs. These methods are used to address mood, self-esteem, trauma and relationship concerns. Colin works with issues such as depression, bipolar, ADHD, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger and compassion fatigue.

He also supports people with intimacy-related and LGBT concerns, and helps those coping with major life changes or career stress. Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, body image and aspects of BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the individual.

Practical steps, coping strategies and reflective conversation are balanced each week. The therapist helps people experiment with new ways of thinking and acting, then reviews what works. People can access therapy online from the United Kingdom in English, including international clients.

Colin’s practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that suits you.

How Colin’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace. Online sessions let the counsellor reflect back what you say and help you arrive at your own decisions, which suits people wanting a supportive, non-directive space.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change them. Online CBT can include thought records, activity planning and step-by-step behavioural tasks that a person completes between sessions.

Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or anxiety. These practices translate well to short audio or guided exercises used during remote work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, and adapt methods over time. Clients often try a mix of listening, practical tasks and reflective work until they find what fits.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or differing daily routines, while keeping the focus on steady progress and clear goals.
