Dawn Nunney, NCPS

Dawn Nunney is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach and practical techniques to help people navigate difficult life stages. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where it suits someone’s needs. Dawn explains things simply and offers a calm space to talk through stress, anxiety and midlife changes.

Dawn has eight years of practice and a background in health and social care. That experience helps her understand wider pressures from work, family and caring roles. She has worked with people facing bereavement, relationship strain, depression and problems with self-esteem.

Dawn also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, and those coping with fertility, cancer or chronic health worries. She has worked with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment and autism. Her list of interests includes anger, intimacy concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career questions.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then uses goal-focused tools such as CBT or solution-focused techniques when helpful. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find what matters to them and take small steps forward.

Dawn practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She has experience of providing online counselling, phone work and face-to-face sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability.

Approaches and online counselling options

Dawn blends a person-centred way of working with structured techniques to suit each person. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them to feel heard and clearer about their choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours connect, and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the best approach is a joint process. Dawn listens to what matters, discusses likely options and adapts the mix of person-centred support and goal-focused tools to fit the person's aims and preferences. This collaborative planning helps set small, manageable steps and keeps therapy focused on real-life changes.

Her biography records experience of online counselling as well as phone and face-to-face work, though current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find these options help maintain continuity of care while fitting into everyday life.
