About Dawn
Dawn Nunney is a counsellor who uses a human-centred approach alongside practical cognitive tools. She draws on eight years of practice to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Her work also covers grief, self-esteem, depression and parenting concerns.
Dawn combines person-centred listening with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to make sense of thought patterns that keep people stuck. She aims to create a space where people can speak frankly about difficult feelings and everyday pressures.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. Her background includes health and social care experience and substantial online work during the Covid crisis. That mix means she is comfortable working over video, phone, chat or messaging as well as in person when needed.
The emphasis is on practical tools that fit into a busy life. People come to Dawn for help with a wide range of issues including addictions, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career worries. She also supports those dealing with family and attachment issues, adoption and foster care, fertility and caregiver stress.
Dawn tailors her response to each person’s situation. She holds the NCPS credential, which is recorded as NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and Dawn works with international clients.
To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to her availability.

How counselling approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own answers, which is useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It gives practical exercises and steps to test unhelpful thinking and try new responses, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and may combine person-centred listening with CBT techniques where helpful. Together they'll adjust the plan as needs and priorities change.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the counsellor see non-verbal cues, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when written reflection feels better. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
