About Dawn
Dawn Redwood is a counsellor who works mainly in a client-centred way. She prioritises each person’s needs and preferences and aims to create a calm space for honest conversation. Dawn uses listening and gentle guidance to help people make sense of difficult feelings such as anxiety and grief.
She trained as an integrative counsellor, which gave her familiarity with several different therapy styles. Dawn has also completed additional courses and now offers clinical supervision for other practitioners.
Background and approach
Her work has included research on supporting people with suicidal thoughts. Dawn has five years of professional experience across independent practice and charity settings. She has delivered therapy in schools, through employee assistance programmes, and at a rape support centre.
Those roles shaped her understanding of trauma, depression, relationship difficulties and post-traumatic stress. In sessions she keeps the focus on the person in front of her. That means following what the client brings, checking in about goals, and choosing methods that fit the situation.
She often blends listening with practical steps and short-term goal work to tackle immediate problems like sleep or anger. Dawn supports people dealing with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, intimacy and relationship challenges, parenting strains, and career or life transitions.
She also works with people coping with abuse, abandonment, attachment concerns and forgiveness work.
How Dawn’s approaches work online
Dawn commonly uses client-centred therapy and trauma-focused work, and she can include solution-focused or motivational strategies when helpful. Client-centred therapy means the session follows the person’s concerns and pace, with the counsellor reflecting and asking questions to help make sense of feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of past traumatic events. It helps people who experience flashbacks, intrusive memories or ongoing stress linked to earlier harm. Solution-focused and motivational techniques are brief and goal-oriented, aimed at small, practical changes like improving sleep or building coping routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and routines. Video works well for deeper conversation, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging can help with brief reflections or when a written record is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
