About Dawn
Dawn Redwood is a counsellor who practises mainly in a client-centred way. She holds NCPS as a credential and brings five years of professional experience to sessions. Her approach focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak openly about concerns that matter to them. She trained initially as an integrative counsellor, which gave her a broad view of different ways to work with people.
Background and approach
Over time she added further learning, including clinical supervision and a research paper on supporting people dealing with suicidal thoughts. Those studies feed into her day-to-day practice and clinical thinking. Dawn has worked in independent practice and within a range of organisations and charities.
Her roles have included work in schools, employee assistance programmes and a rape centre. Those settings helped her gain experience with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. Parents often find her practical focus useful when juggling stress, parenting strain, sleep problems or relationship worries.
She also supports people facing grief, life changes, long-term mood concerns and issues around identity, including LGBT matters. Sessions combine attentive listening with clear, practical steps when needed. Her toolbox includes solution-focused ideas and trauma-informed ways of working alongside psychodynamic listening and motivational interviewing.
Sessions are tailored to what each person needs today, with an emphasis on small, realistic changes. Dawn offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines and schedules.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. In online sessions this looks like time to talk about parenting pressures, emotional overload or relationship strain while the counsellor reflects and helps clarify next steps.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people manage the effects of traumatic experiences. Online work lets the counsellor use paced conversations and coping tools to reduce distress and build safety around difficult memories or reactions.
A Solution-Focused approach zeroes in on small, practical changes that make daily life easier. This is useful for parents juggling routines or anyone wanting brief, goal-oriented steps to improve sleep, stress or coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will discuss options and adapt methods to fit the person’s goals, worries and preferences in a collaborative way. Clients and therapist decide which methods to try and review progress as they go.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to sustain therapy around parenting, work and daily life.
