Colin Frawley , BACP, NCPS

Colin Frawley is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience supporting people through many of life’s challenges. He focuses on client-centered work that helps individuals build confidence, clarify choices, and move toward goals at a pace that feels manageable. Colin applies a practical, integrative style that draws on several theoretical approaches so therapy can be shaped around each person's needs rather than forcing a single method.

He has a detailed understanding of the BACP Professional Conduct and Ethical Framework and brings those standards into his work with clients and colleagues. Colin holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate professional training and membership of recognised counselling bodies. His background includes sound knowledge of person-centred methods, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused tools, and he uses a pluralistic approach to combine elements that are most useful in practice.

Across his practice Colin has supported people with bereavement, addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD and brain injury, among other concerns. He works in English, accepts clients both within the United Kingdom and internationally, and aims to offer a respectful, collaborative environment where people can explore change at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Colin commonly works with client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and existential therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work - it is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring relationships, and navigating life changes. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and can be useful for anxiety, depression and many everyday difficulties. Existential therapy explores meaning, choice and responsibility, supporting people facing uncertainty, loss, or major life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Colin works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats give greater flexibility around scheduling, make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations, and allow clients to choose the way of working that feels most comfortable while still engaging with licensed professionals and therapists.
