About Colin
Colin Frawley uses a client-centred approach to help people work through fears, stress and life changes. He keeps sessions focused on the person's needs and pace. Colin is a counsellor with 12 years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, and he works with people across a wide range of concerns including phobias, anxiety and addictions.
Colin aims to create a calm space where people can talk about difficult things without judgement.
Background and approach
He listens closely and helps people clarify what matters to them. Practical steps are discussed alongside emotional support so people can try different ways of coping between sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and patterns that keep problems going.
Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help manage strong feelings and keep attention grounded in the present. Jungian and existential ideas are used when people want to explore meaning, values and identity. Colin has worked across many settings during his 12 years, supporting people with bereavement, addiction, ADHD, trauma, relationship strains and mood difficulties.
He adapts his approach to each person's situation rather than following a single method. Sessions are offered in English and Colin accepts international clients. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them.
Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Colin’s approaches work in online therapy
Colin combines client-centred care with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people reduce fear, manage anxiety and tackle phobias. Client-centred work means the session topics and pace are guided by the person, with the counsellor offering reflective listening and supportive questions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and introduces practical exercises to change them.Mindfulness practice is often used alongside these approaches to help calm strong reactions and bring attention back to the present moment. These short exercises can be practised between sessions and adapted to fit daily routines, helping with sleep, stress and emotional flare-ups.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Colin will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods feel for the person. Together they agree what to try first and adjust the plan as therapy progresses, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer no camera, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments and let people choose what feels most manageable.
