About Dawn
Dawn Nunney is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Dawn also supports those facing grief, addiction issues, sleep and eating concerns, and problems with anger and self-esteem.
Dawn uses a person-centred approach as her starting point, adding cognitive behavioural therapy when it helps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also draws on motivational interviewing to clarify goals and on solution-focused techniques to identify practical next steps. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at making small, manageable changes.
She trained and worked in health and social care before moving fully into counselling. That background informs how she thinks about everyday pressures and the practical parts of coping. Dawn carried out a high volume of online counselling during the Covid crisis, and she has experience with phone and face-to-face sessions as well.
In sessions she talks through what feels unhelpful and works with clients to set realistic goals. She helps people notice patterns, test different ways of responding, and build small routines that reduce tension. Practical skills and short-term problem solving sit alongside deeper conversations when they are needed.
Dawn accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Her practical style suits people who want clear steps to handle anger, workplace frustration, relationship conflict, or the fallout from life changes.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centred work starts by focusing on what matters to the client and encouraging honest conversation. It helps people feel heard and decide what to address first. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dawn will work collaboratively to decide whether person-centred listening, CBT exercises or motivational interviewing best suit the issue and the client’s goals. That choice can evolve as therapy progresses.
Her practice has included a high volume of online counselling during the Covid crisis, along with phone and face-to-face work. If you want to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy when life changes make attending in person harder.
