About Colin

Colin Frawley is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma and anger. He also supports people facing career changes, sleep or eating difficulties, bipolar mood challenges and compassion fatigue.

Colin uses a client-centred approach as a base. That means conversations focus on the person’s concerns and choices rather than a fixed script. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness exercises to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical steps that change day-to-day feeling and behaviour.

Many clients are looking for straightforward ways to manage strong reactions. Colin helps people identify what triggers their anger and practises ways to respond differently. Sessions include talking through recent events, testing small behavioural changes and reflecting on what works in real life.

He takes an integrative, pluralistic view, combining elements from different therapies when that suits a person. That can include existential or Jungian ideas about meaning and identity when people want deeper reflection alongside practical tools. Colin follows the BACP Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework in his work.

People who choose him usually want clear, practical conversations without jargon. He accepts international clients and runs sessions for English speakers. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s matching and booking flow to set up a first meeting.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their priorities at the centre of work. Online sessions using this approach focus on the client’s immediate concerns and decisions, with the counsellor following the person’s lead and reflecting what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is task-oriented and looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT often involves short practical exercises, thought records and experiments that are discussed and adjusted between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches focused attention and noticing patterns in the body and mind; online delivery can include guided practices and brief daily exercises to build awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Colin will discuss options and test what helps, combining methods when that better matches a person’s goals and preferences. The plan is adjusted as the person notices what makes a real difference in everyday life.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt materials and exercises for remote use so people can try practical tools between sessions and gradually change how they respond to anger in daily situations.
