Dawn Nunney

Dawn Nunney is a counsellor who combines a humanistic, client-centred way of working with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when it helps. She brings eight years' experience and a NCPS credential to her practice. Dawn aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger or low mood.

Her background includes health and social care roles that inform how she listens to practical pressures. She has provided many online sessions during the Covid crisis, and also has experience offering face-to-face and phone counselling. This range means she is used to different ways people like to talk.

Dawn commonly helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and family concerns. She also works with people facing addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, and career or life-change challenges. Anger and issues around intimacy, attachment and parenting are among the areas she supports.

In a session she aims to keep language plain and steps clear. Conversations focus on what is most pressing and on simple strategies to try between meetings. She uses CBT techniques where thoughts and behaviours are part of the problem, and a person-centred stance to follow the person's priorities.

People who want to begin are invited to use the platform's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. That helps arrange sessions with Dawn according to her availability.

How Dawn uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the person's concerns and reflects what they say back in an empathic, straightforward way. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings like anger, grief or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and introduces simple exercises to try between sessions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful anger patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the online process. Dawn discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and decides together which methods to use. That collaborative planning means the work is tailored to what the person wants to change.

Her biography records experience delivering many online sessions, and also face-to-face and phone counselling. Please confirm the current session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling for work or family commitments.
