Background and approach

That makes it easier to try small, practical changes between sessions. Her practice draws on methods like client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. These approaches are used to help people manage anxious thoughts, adjust unhelpful habits and build day-to-day coping skills.

She also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals. With four years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, Dawn has supported people with a wide range of issues. Examples include addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, anger, and bereavement.

She also offers help with first responder issues, hoarding, and end-of-life conversations. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Dawn works with each person to choose an approach that fits their needs and pace, and to make practical plans for moving forward.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what is said so the client feels heard. This approach helps when someone needs to work through strong emotions such as grief or anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It involves spotting unhelpful thinking, trying alternative responses, and practising new behaviours between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and overcoming avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and daily routines and then agree a way forward. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel, and keep regular contact between sessions.
