About Dawn
Dawn Nunney is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has eight years of practice. She lists anxiety, depression, relationships and related concerns among the issues she works with, including grief, self-esteem and family matters.
She uses a person-centred approach as her main way of working, and draws on cognitive behavioural therapy when it fits the situation. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, while also looking at thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems like worry or low mood.
Before qualifying she worked in health and social care, and this background informs practical thinking about everyday life stresses. She also completed a high volume of online counselling during the Covid crisis, and has experience of face-to-face and phone sessions.
Clients consult her for a broad range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. These include relationship strain, grief and family of origin issues, as well as sleeping and eating difficulties, coping with life changes and caregiver stress.
In sessions she combines listening with practical ideas. That can mean exploring how thoughts and routines affect mood, trying short experiments, and setting simple steps to manage stress. The emphasis is on clear, manageable ways to address problems rather than long theoretical explanations.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Dawn combines a person-centred way of working with cognitive behavioural tools. Person-centred therapy focuses on open listening and on what the client wants to address; it is useful for exploring feelings around anxiety, relationships and grief. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is often used for worry, low mood and sleep problems.Choosing a method is a collaborative process. Dawn will discuss what you hope to achieve and try approaches that fit your goals and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and then adding simple cognitive and behavioural exercises as needed.
Her biography records experience of online counselling as well as face-to-face and phone work. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins by phone, or remove travel time for a face-to-face appointment. Registered and accredited professionals can use these options to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
