About Dawn
Dawn Nunney is a counsellor registered with the NCPS with eight years' experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties, and includes anger among the issues she addresses. Dawn also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem problems, addictions and life changes.
She uses a humanistic, person-centred approach as her starting point. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is offered when it fits the client's goals. Dawn draws on earlier health and social care roles to shape practical steps and real-world suggestions.
Her work often focuses on day-to-day patterns - thoughts, reactions and habits that keep problems going. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with space to name what causes tension and test small changes. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people clarify what they want and find internal reasons to change.
Dawn has significant online experience since the Covid period, and has also worked face to face and by phone. That background means she is familiar with different ways people prefer to meet and the practicalities each way brings.
Clients commonly bring crossover concerns such as parenting stress, career strain, attachment or family of origin issues. She also supports people with more specific difficulties like ADHD traits, fertility or health-related stress, and problems around intimacy and commitment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client lead the conversation. It suits people who want to explore feelings, relationships and why they react as they do.CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions usually involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural experiments between sessions. This approach is often useful for anxiety, anger that shows up at work or home, sleep problems and low mood.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Dawn will discuss options and decide together with the client which mix of person-centred listening and active techniques best fits their goals. That collaborative choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Her biography records experience delivering counselling online, in person and by phone. If you want to meet remotely, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
