I came to see Dawn for counselling as part of the requirements for my course. From our very first session, I felt an instant bond with Dawn that made it very easy for me to open-up, and explore some difficult emotions. Dawn has a wonderfully warm and gentle approach that made me feel completely at ease. Her presence allowed me to explore my feelings at my own pace, without ever feeling rushed or judged. It was a truly safe space, and that made all the difference. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a supportive and compassionate counsellor.
Dawn was so warm and empathetic from our first meeting I really felt I could open up to her. I did feel like I learned a lot (about myself/ life/ the universe) in each session and saw some of my relationships and challenges significantly improve session to session. Thanks Dawn you've really helped me move forward with my life positively.
Five face to face sessions, three before Xmas and two in March. Excellent discussions and encouraging support in friendly, private, location. Thank you, Dawn, and my best wishes to you.
I received 6 sessions of counselling through my employer, and was first placed with another counsellor who I didn't click with at all. I then changed to Dawn for my remaining sessions and felt immediately at ease with her gentle approach and relateable conversational style.
I really enjoyed her methods of giving scientific insights into behaviour (clearly something that works for me which she responded to), as well as encouraging free (but guided) talking without pushing in any one direction and gently digging slightly deeper where appropriate. Any little success was pointed out and celebrated, any problems looked at from a different perspective to identify the sticking points. I felt very safe throughout, never judged, never had any answers put in my mouth.
I would not hesitate for a second contacting Dawn again should I need further help, the progress I was able to make in only 5 sessions under her guidance was immense.
Initially I was a little sceptical that counselling would be a good fit for me, but with a changing home situation and a lot of stress and anxiety, I figured it was worth a try.
From day one Dawn was great, it felt like we covered a lot each session, with flexibility on topics and plenty of time given for me to progress at my own pace. We worked on coping strategies and found ways of thinking that really benefitted me. In many ways the most meaningful measure is how much it has impacted me; in this regard I’m pleased to say it has made big improvements to work and home life alike.
Should I need any further support in the future I know I will come back to Dawn!
