About Dawn

Dawn Mullen is a counsellor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions and related issues. She has seven years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her work also covers depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

She draws on both person-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural therapy to suit each person's needs. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Dawn focuses on what a person wants to change and on small steps that make a difference.

Background and approach

In sessions she aims to be warm and compassionate while encouraging people to use their own strengths. She listens closely and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Together they look for practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage urges linked to addiction.

Dawn has direct experience supporting people after residential rehab. That background gives her familiarity with relapse risks, withdrawal from substances or behaviours, and the unsettled feelings that can follow recovery. She also supports people facing life changes like separation, career shifts or midlife questions.

Her approach blends practical tools with reflective work about what matters to each person. People can expect honest conversation, steady encouragement and help to build day-to-day coping skills. Dawn works in English and practises in the United Kingdom as a BACP-registered counsellor.

How online methods and therapeutic approaches work together

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means listening carefully and following the person's pace, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and teaches clear techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine approaches that feel right. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress unfolds.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats help with flexibility around work, caring duties and travel, and let people use tools and exercises between sessions to practise skills learned in therapy.
