About Dawn
Dawn Nunney draws on a humanistic, person-centred approach to help people process difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward. She combines warm, attentive listening with practical tools when needed. Dawn holds NCPS, which she uses alongside eight years of therapy experience in the United Kingdom.
She helps people with stress, anxiety and depression by building a steady, respectful space to talk things through. Dawn also supports those coping with grief, relationship strain, family problems and caregiving stress.
How Dawn works
Practical challenges such as sleep or eating difficulties, addiction concerns and career-related strain are included in her work. Dawn adapts her style to fit each person. She uses cognitive behavioural therapy, known as CBT, when that approach can offer clear strategies.
Motivational interviewing helps with change-focused goals, while solution-focused work keeps sessions directed and goal-oriented. Her background includes health and social care experience and a period of high-volume online counselling during the Covid crisis, alongside face-to-face and phone practice. That mix informs how she balances empathy with actionable steps.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Dawn listens for what matters to the individual, then helps set manageable goals and small experiments to try between sessions. The tone is practical but supportive, with attention to the person behind the problem.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters most to them, which can be useful for grief, low mood or relationship worries.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers straightforward exercises to try. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful habits by giving practical steps to change day-to-day routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will discuss options and test what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror a face-to-face meeting. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short check-ins, brief reflections, or when writing feels easier than talking. These formats make therapy easier to schedule and keep consistent for people with busy or changing lives.
