What is Therapy and Counselling?

Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences—especially those that may feel confusing, painful, or overwhelming. It offers the opportunity to talk openly with a trained professional who will listen without judgment and help you find clarity, relief, and new ways forward.

About Dawn Counselling

I’m a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor with over five years of training and practice in counselling and psychotherapy. My approach is grounded in the belief that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for meaningful change.

I draw from both humanistic (person-centred) and psychoanalytic traditions, tailoring the therapy to meet your individual needs.

I have successfully worked with clients facing a wide range of issues, including:

• Depression and low mood

• Anxiety and stress

• Relationship difficulties

• Low self-esteem and confidence

• Life transitions and identity issues

My experience includes working in counselling agencies, educational settings, and NHS clinics.

Ongoing Professional Development

I am committed to continuous learning and regularly attend specialist training to deepen and expand my practice. Some of the areas I’ve trained in include:

• Domestic Violence Awareness

• The Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse on Adult Survivors

• Couples Counselling and Relationship Work

• Systemic Psychotherapy

• Working with Identity and Self-Esteem in Young People with Eating Disorders

• Basic Drug Awareness

• Child Protection and Historical Abuse

• Working with Interpreters

My Practice

I run an independent counselling practice in Northwest London and welcome enquiries from people of all backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. Whether you're seeking help for a specific issue or simply need space to reflect and grow, I’m here to support you.
