About Dawn
Dawn Nunney is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has eight years' experience supporting adults in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues, and also works with parenting and family concerns. Her background in health and social care informs practical conversations about wellbeing and day-to-day coping.
Dawn uses a humanistic client-centred approach at the core of her work. She adds Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques when they fit a person’s situation. She has provided a high volume of online counselling and has also worked face to face and by phone.
In sessions she listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people try small changes that can ease pressure. She talks through thoughts, behaviours and practical routines, and aims to make skills usable between meetings. That includes short CBT tools for anxiety and mood, and collaborative planning for family and parenting pressures.
Her experience includes working with grief, bereavement and long-term health concerns as well as addictions, trauma and attachment-related issues. She also supports people dealing with fertility, adoption and family-of-origin problems. Conversations often cover communication and setting boundaries at home.
People can expect clear, straightforward discussion about goals and options. Dawn invites clients to set priorities and to review progress together. Her practice reflects eight years working in community and health-related settings, bringing an emphasis on practical support alongside talk therapy.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on helping the person lead the conversation. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports the client to set their own goals. This approach can help people who want to clarify values, family priorities or how they want to behave at home.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and routines with practical exercises. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating pattern changes. In online sessions this might include short behavioural experiments or homework tasks to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dawn will talk through the options and agree which methods to try based on the client's concerns, goals and what feels workable in day-to-day life. She checks in on what helps and adjusts the plan together as progress or obstacles arise.
Her biography notes experience with online, face-to-face and phone work. Confirm the precise session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting and work commitments, allow a quicker check-in when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are shorter to fit the day.
