About Dawn
Dawn Redwood is a counsellor who works mainly in a client-centred way. She places the person's needs and wishes at the heart of sessions and aims to build a calm, trusting therapeutic relationship.
She trained as an integrative counsellor, which gave her experience with a range of approaches. Dawn keeps drawing on different ways of working to meet each person's needs rather than following one fixed method. Her NCPS credential is listed as part of her professional details.
Her work has included time in private practice and roles with charities and organisations. She has experience providing therapy through employee assistance programmes and supporting people at a rape centre. She has also worked in schools with young people.
Clients come to her with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and trauma among other concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, changes in life, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Dawn lists Coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her additional focus areas.
She has five years of counselling experience and has completed further study, including clinical supervision work and a research paper on working with suicidal clients. Dawn aims for straightforward, respectful conversations that help people find clearer next steps.

How Dawn's approaches translate to online counselling
Dawn draws on client-centred work and trauma-focused ideas to guide therapy online. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening, reflecting and following the person's lead to build trust and clarify difficulties. This approach helps with anxiety, relationship concerns and navigating life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of traumatic events and supporting gradual processing and coping; it is often used for PTSD, abuse or other trauma-related problems.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Dawn will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that suit your needs. She aims to adapt techniques so they work over the internet while keeping the focus on what matters to you.
