Life challenges, including past trauma, loss, fear, depression and anxiety can cloud our inner wisdom, making it difficult to cope and find clarity. But deep within, we all possess the knowledge we need to navigate life's obstacles. Our journey together can help you uncover the clarity and peace you deserve by reconnecting with your inner strength and wisdom.
If you're feeling an unexplained sense of sadness or yearning for a new direction in life, you're not alone. Whatever you're going through, I offer a supportive, non-judgemental and safe space where you'll feel heard, valued and understood. Together, we'll explore what's going on for you, helping you heal and gain deeper self awareness to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Hello, I'm Dawn, a warm, compassionate counsellor dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges with care and understanding. My passion for working with people comes from my own life experiences, where I've seen how powerful it can be to have someone to talk to during difficult times. It's in these moments that gaining clarity and perspective can help you move forward.
This understanding inspired me to become a counsellor, and today, I am proud to support individuals on their journey toward healing. Alongside my private practice, I work with a local Bereavement Service, helping those dealing with complex and traumatic grief. My background also includes volunteering as a Samaritans Listener, providing support to those in crisis.
With over 25 years experience working with animals, I also recognize the profound bonds we share with our pets and how they impact our emotional well-being.
I am committed to being the best counsellor I can be by continually educating myself. I have experience helping clients with bereavement, trauma, relationship issues, pet loss, family dynamics, anxiety, complex grief and depression. I am here to walk alongside you, providing the support, empathy and tools you need to find clarity and healing.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy and Gestalt. This allows me to tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and supportive experience.
I believe true well-being comes from the connection between four key aspects of self: mind, body, emotions and soul. When these parts align, we feel more balanced and at peace. In our sessions, we will explore what each part is communicating - such as the difference between what the mind tells us and what the heart feels - helping you gain clarity and deeper self awareness.
Everyone's journey is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Together, we will find the right path for you. If you're ready to begin, reach out today to take the first step toward healing and growth.
