Hello, my name is Dawn, I offer a warm therapeutic space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences in a safe, compassionate environment.

I'm an experienced, accredited Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. My approach is friendly, warm and compassionate. I feel a deep level of empathy, enabling me to listen and connect to whatever is on your mind. I am very open minded, impartial and accepting. I value everyone for who they are.

I deeply care and feel passionate about the work that I do.

I offer a safe, caring and non-judgemental space to help you explore your feelings and difficulties. I will listen to you to understand who you are as a person and the things that you want from your life. Together we can work on change in a safe environment, that will allow you to bring all versions of yourself without the fear of being judged.

I will help you to explore ways to move forward, finding practical steps to take control of your difficulties, building coping mechanisms and stronger resilience to overcome any obstacles and challenges.

My style is warm, friendly and allows laughter and celebration. I have a relaxed approach, where I work in a very open and transparent way. Together we will celebrate your progress, no matter how big or small this may feel.

My favourite thing about being a therapist is in helping people feel less anxious and rediscover that they’re likeable, capable, lovable and able to smile again because so often when clients first come in to therapy, those things often seem so very far away.

As a Counsellor I am committed to providing the best service to help you move forward with your life and support you on your journey of self-discovery and change.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
