About Dawn
Dawn Mullen is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, anger, relationship strain, career issues and depression. Her background includes time in residential rehab settings supporting people after treatment and during recovery.
Dawn works in an integrative way that blends person-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques. She keeps sessions practical and direct, helping people notice patterns of thought and behaviour and try small changes between meetings. Mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas also feature when they suit the problem at hand.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what has been happening and what they want to change. Sessions look at what triggers strong reactions, including anger, and at strategies to reduce impulsive responses. There is attention to how addiction and post-rehab challenges affect daily life and relationships.
Dawn has experience supporting people through bereavement, separation and midlife shifts, and she works with issues such as codependency, dissociation and process addictions. She also addresses guilt, shame and isolation alongside practical coping skills for day-to-day stress.
Her approach aims to help people build clearer thinking and safer routines. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and reviewed as progress is made. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and supporting a person's own resources. It helps when people need a respectful space to talk through strong feelings and make clearer decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. This approach is useful for anger that comes from unhelpful thinking patterns or situations that recur at work or at home.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Dawn will work with each person to choose whether person-centred listening, CBT techniques or trauma-focused tools best match their goals. That decision is made together and can change as the work progresses.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists who are registered or accredited often use practical worksheets, brief behavioural experiments between sessions and guided mindfulness exercises that translate well to remote meetings.
