About Dawn Redwood

Dawn Redwood trained initially as an integrative counsellor, building a broad grounding in multiple therapeutic modalities and how to adapt them to meet each client's needs. Over time she has expanded her training, qualifying as a clinical supervisor and completing a research paper on working with suicidal clients, which has informed her approach to risk, assessment, and support. She works primarily in a client-centered way - placing the client's preferences and goals at the forefront of the work - while drawing on other methods when they suit the client's situation and pace. This flexible stance supports a collaborative therapeutic relationship where people can feel understood and gradually explore difficult material.

Dawn's career spans private practice and roles within organisations and charities, including work in schools with young people, therapy delivered through employee assistance programmes, and supporting clients at a rape centre. These varied settings have helped her develop experience with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, PTSD, and other trauma-related issues. She aims to create a calm, respectful space that encourages trust and change. Dawn also holds the NCPS credential, indicating registration as a counsellor.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dawn primarily works in a client-centered way, which means she follows the client's lead, prioritises their values, and aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports personal growth and exploration. Client-centered therapy is helpful for people who need a supportive space to process emotions and clarify goals.

She also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy when addressing the effects of traumatic experiences; this approach focuses on understanding and processing trauma reactions to reduce their ongoing impact. Psychodynamic Therapy is used as another option to explore how past relationships and patterns influence present feelings and behaviours, which can be useful for persistent relational or emotional issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dawn works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her style as the work unfolds to ensure the approach remains helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access registered professionals from different locations. These options allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and convenient for them.
