about therapy

People often think that therapy is where you go when you’re depressed, or anxious. But often, we’re like this because we’re living a smaller, less expressive life than we’d like.

​My aim is well-being and mental health, but it's also growth and development, because you know you are brave enough to live a bigger life - with better relationships and more satisfaction.

​

I work with adults aged 18 and over.

​

I have over 8 years of experience, supporting people with

Childhood trauma

Illness

Aging

Caring

Grief

Abuse

Addiction

Neurodiversity

and other issues.

​

As a member of both UKCP and GPTI , I work with their Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

about me

I'm Dawn, and as a curious therapist and perceptive person, I prioritize our therapeutic process.

 

I am passionate about stories in literature, art, film, comedy and community. I have supported many people who are struggling with, or feel stuck in their story - tell me yours.

​

I am really interested in themes of play,  power, difference and belonging.

My practice is centred around embodied awareness, which can feel different from other styles of counselling.

​

I've worked with children and family groups in various settings and on a number of projects in support and development roles, using a therapeutic arts approach.

​

Wide open skies, solid ground and shifting waterways in our world bring me to life.
