Dawn Nunney , NCPS

Dawn Nunney is a counsellor who combines a human-centred style with practical cognitive techniques. She works in a straightforward way to help people handle anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. Dawn brings eight years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Her sessions focus on listening first. She helps people name what is happening and choose small, workable steps. Dawn uses client-centred conversation alongside cognitive behavioural ideas when those tools suit the issue. She has a background in health and social care which informs her practical approach. That experience helps when clients bring concerns about illness, caregiving or complex family situations. Dawn has provided a large volume of online counselling during the Covid period and also supports people by phone and in person. She is comfortable adapting the way she works to fit a client's life and needs. Typical concerns she helps with include stress, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and sleeping or eating issues. She also works with parenting and fertility-related worries and supports people facing career or life transitions. People considering therapy can expect a calm, conversational style. Dawn aims to make sessions easy to understand and apply. Work together may include short-term goals or longer support depending on what the person needs.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and relies on warmth and listening. It aims to help someone feel heard and to encourage their own solutions for emotional difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and practical actions. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems because it teaches clear tools to change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasise listening and reflection, or to use CBT-style exercises and practical steps, and can adjust that plan over time.

Online therapy can fit different lives and situations. Video calls let people see body language and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer typing to speaking. These flexible options help make therapy easier to schedule around work, caregiving and daily life.
