About Dawn
Dawn Robertson is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people coping with stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger and related issues such as grief, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are conducted in English.
Dawn treats clients as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and practical ways to move forward. In conversation she helps people name patterns that fuel anger and frustration and then tries out clearer ways of responding.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to make small, usable changes. That can include breaking problems into manageable steps, developing clearer boundaries, and practising ways to calm the body and mind when tension rises. Dawn keeps things straightforward and practical.
She aims to help people reduce the moments of losing their temper, manage ongoing resentment, and cope with someone else’s anger in everyday life. Work often covers relationship stress, intimacy-related difficulties, and parenting strain linked to emotional overwhelm.
People who choose Dawn start by describing what they want to change. From there she and the client set short-term goals and try simple tools in session. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted to fit the person’s life and commitments.
Approaches and practical online sessions
Dawn draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anger and related problems. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, then testing small changes in how someone responds to stress. This helps with repeated outbursts and building steadier reactions. Another approach works with body-based calming methods and short behavioural experiments to reduce physical arousal when anger rises. These techniques support better moment-to-moment control and clearer decision making.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Dawn will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, circumstances and preferences. That means setting short-term targets, trying tools in session, and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that focus on practical skills practice, reflection on patterns, and setting up changes to try between meetings.
