About Dawn

Dawn Nunney helps people work through anxiety, depression, relationship strain and bereavement using a humanistic person-centred approach and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where appropriate. She is registered with NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has eight years' experience in counselling.

Dawn brings a background in health and social care to her sessions. That background informs practical conversations about stress, caring responsibilities and health-related worries. She uses clear, structured techniques from CBT when they suit a problem, alongside person-centred listening.

She has substantial experience with anxiety and depression, including focused work on panic, low mood and related sleep or eating difficulties. Dawn also supports people dealing with grief and bereavement, changes at work, and challenges around self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

Dawn has worked with family and relationship problems, including communication and commitment concerns, and with people affected by domestic violence, adoption and foster care, and family of origin issues. She also offers help with addiction-related issues, caregiving stress and cancer-related concerns.

Her practice includes attention to neurodiversity matters such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and to specific needs like fertility, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Sessions combine listening, practical coping strategies and goal-focused work when clients want that.

How Dawn uses counselling methods in online sessions

Dawn uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding a client's experience. This approach is aimed at creating a respectful therapeutic relationship and helps people talk through feelings about relationships, grief and self-esteem.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT is practical and often helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating problems by teaching coping strategies and small behaviour changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will discuss what fits best with a client's needs, goals and preferences and agree what to try first. That is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Her biography notes prior experience of online, face-to-face and phone counselling, but current session options should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups between in-person visits. If a client prefers shorter check-ins or not being on camera, these practical needs can be discussed when arranging sessions.
