About Dawn
Dawn Nunney is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural therapy where it helps. Dawn works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression and addictions among other issues.
Dawn draws on a background in health and social care to inform practical conversations about day-to-day challenges. She offers straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of her. Expect gentle questioning, reflective listening and collaborative planning rather than instruction.
She has substantial experience of online counselling from work during the Covid period, and she has also worked face to face and by phone. This range means she is familiar with adjusting how sessions run to suit different needs and settings.
Dawn commonly helps people dealing with bereavement, work and career stress, family of origin issues, fertility and caregiver strain. She also supports people coping with trauma, intimacy-related concerns, anger and changes such as separation or adoption-related matters.
Her ways of working include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she helps people identify practical steps, test out new habits and reflect on patterns that keep problems going.

How Dawn uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and the person's own priorities. It gives space for someone to talk things through while the counsellor reflects back and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues and grief.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of coping, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will discuss options with the person and agree which methods suit their goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative decision and adapts as needs change.
The original biography records experience of online, face-to-face and phone counselling from the Covid period, but current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or caring responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins, phone-only conversations when video is not wanted, and continuity when travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats, so check available options when you arrange the first appointment.
