Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Dawn commonly draws on person-centred work, which focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a respectful, empathetic space to explore feelings and goals. This approach helps people build self-awareness and emotional resilience by emphasising the client’s own strengths and values.She also uses cognitive-behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day challenges. When helpful, Dawn brings in psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences and relational patterns can influence current difficulties, offering deeper insight alongside practical tools.
Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Dawn works with each person to agree the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographical constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, arrange sessions at convenient times, and continue therapeutic work from home or another comfortable setting while working with a registered professional.
