Welcome to New Dawn Counselling
Firstly, let me thank you for visiting my website and for taking that first step in exploring support for you. You may feel apprehensive about talking with someone you are not familiar with, that’s normal. It takes strength to seek change in our life. I can give you the space and freedom to share your thoughts and feelings with someone who has no pre-conceived ideas about you. If you feel a little stuck or something in your life is preventing you from reaching your full potential or you have any issues or concerns you want to talk through.
I am here to help
Hello
My name is Dawn
I am a qualified Counsellor with a Diploma in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I have over thirty-seven years of experience working in the corporate world. All of my working life I have worked alongside people to provide a service which meets their needs. Initially as a hairdresser for twenty-five years before embarking on a career change at the age of forty which led me into the Health & Social care sector. Working alongside clients in Mental Health services for several years let me explore the most effective tools, techniques and coping strategies best suited to the client and their lifestyle. This sparked my passion for counselling.
I have a genuine interest in helping others and if you feel I can help you, I would love to hear from you.
Telephone
If you find it hard to take time out for yourself telephone counselling could be the answer. You choose a suitable timeslot for me to call you. We can talk whilst you remain in the comfort of your own home, car or even whilst you are out walking. All you require is a phone and a private space. Telephone Counselling saves you travelling time and costs.
Online
Online Counselling can slot in to your busy life and save you travelling time and costs. It has the additional bonus of being able to see one another which may help you express yourself more fully. I provide a very accessible, easy to use system.
Face to Face
Face to Face Counselling eliminates any need for technology and can offer you a complete change of scene if you would find this helpful. I offer a private safe space, free from distractions.
Walk & Talk
Being out in the fresh air has so many benefits, walking can reduce levels of stress, depression and anxiety. You might be more comfortable without direct face to face contact and find it easier to open up with walk & talk. You as the client will set the pace of the walk on a pre-risk assessed route.
*Please note that this service is only available seasonally (Apr - Sep).
