Hi my name is Dawn. I have been a Counselling Professional since 2005. I have a lived experience of depression and life and how we build building blocks, one upon the other, carrying all these blocks within us. I have a depth of experience both professionally and personally especially with mental health issues with children and adults.
I love counselling and being with people. I live in reality and know the depths of pain that we can hold inside and the depths of pain this has on those around us. I also know the beauty that acceptance of this pain leads to and the creativity, the freeing and the emergence of who you really are. Over the years I have gained much awareness and experience of working with individuals with Autism, and ADHD. I am aware of the struggles that are present in every day life; masking, anxiety and more and recognise that there is not enough support and awareness out there which can add to the struggles of each individual.
I am very creative and grounded. I feel truly listening is very important.
I have done counselling over the years in numerous settings such as within schools, fostering communities, Live Well Kent (mental health and wellbeing organisation), doctors surgery and counselling charities as well as my own private practise.
Please get in touch to see if you feel comfortable with me, it is very important that you feel you can connect with me and also to explore what you would like to get from counselling.
I also have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Working with Dawn has made me feel seen and heard. It has been reassuring and uplifting to know I can contact her whenever I need to and work through the issues and feelings that either arise due to situations or that I've been dealing with on my own for far too long. I would complelety recommend her to people who really want to change and want to put the work in.
