Colin Frawley offers a client-centred style of counselling that aims to help people feel heard and understood. He works in straightforward language and focuses on supporting clients to make their own decisions. Colin holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings 12 years of professional experience to his practice.

He has experience with a wide range of additional issues including body image, cancer-related adjustment, trauma and dissociation.

His approach draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Colin combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in ways that suit the person. Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and helping them find their own answers through open listening and reflection. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses practical tasks to reduce distress and change patterns. Mindfulness involves simple awareness exercises to help reduce worrying and improve focus in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Colin treats this as a collaborative journey and will discuss which methods feel right for a client’s needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the mix of approaches as therapy progresses and checks in about what is helpful.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments or caring responsibilities, and it can allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It can also reduce travel time and make accessing a therapist more straightforward for people living further from urban centres.
