About Dawn
Dawn Nunney is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with eight years of practice. She works with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships and a broad range of life stresses. Sessions address everyday problems like sleep, parenting and work pressure as well as longer standing issues such as trauma and family of origin concerns.
Dawn uses a humanistic, client-centred way of working and adds cognitive behavioural therapy where it fits. She aims to help people notice their thoughts and behaviours and try small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are also used to clarify goals and keep sessions practical.
Her background includes work in health and social care and experience with online, face-to-face and telephone counselling. She carried out a high volume of online sessions during the Covid crisis, and draws on that experience when arranging meetings now. International clients who speak English are accepted.
Dawn supports people with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. These include addictions, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, bipolar difficulties, intimacy issues and eating or sleeping problems. She also lists more specific focuses such as adoption and foster care, attachment and autism spectrum matters.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Dawn combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting, helping people talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to try new responses.She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to set clear goals and build momentum. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the best mix of methods based on your needs, goals and preferences, and adapt methods as the work progresses.
Her profile notes experience with online, face-to-face and phone counselling and that she ran many online sessions during the Covid crisis. The listing does not specify current session formats, so check the session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, avoid travel and choose shorter or camera-off check-ins if that suits you. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to offer flexible scheduling and practical goal-focused work.
