About Colin
Colin Frawley is a counsellor who combines practical conversations with thoughtful reflection. He uses an existential approach to help people face difficult choices and find meaning in stressful times. Colin aims to create a calm, steady space where clients can talk, think and make clearer decisions about their next steps.
He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. He also supports people coping with grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, and the challenges of neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD.
Background and approach
Colin has particular experience with career strain, compassion fatigue and the complex effects of chronic illness. Colin brings 12 years of practice to his work and uses a mix of approaches to meet each person’s needs. He draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and Jungian ideas alongside mindfulness practices.
This helps him tailor sessions to what a person actually needs rather than following one fixed method. He holds credentials with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Colin follows professional conduct and ethical standards in his work and aims to be clear about what to expect in sessions.
Sessions can take different shapes depending on the issue - short practical steps, deeper reflective work, or a combination. Colin prefers to work collaboratively, so people set the pace and goals as they go.

Online support
How different approaches work in online counselling
Existential therapy helps people look at life choices, meaning and responsibility. It focuses on what matters to the individual and can be useful when facing big changes, grief or questions of identity. Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and the client’s own wisdom; the counsellor reflects and supports people to find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Colin will meet a client where they are and agree a plan together. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting methods to fit the person’s goals and preferences rather than using a single fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for deeper conversations when seeing expressions helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity between sessions and to fit therapy into a busy life.
