Dawn Redwood is a counsellor who works in a client-centred way. She places a person’s needs and wishes at the heart of sessions and aims to build trust quickly. Dawn uses straightforward language and practical listening to help people feel heard and steady.

Dawn trained as an integrative counsellor and holds NCPS, which she uses to support a broad practice. Over five years she has worked in independent practice and with several organisations and charities.

Background and approach

That mix of settings means she is used to different kinds of problems and pressures. Her day-to-day work covers stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar mood difficulties, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, LGBT concerns, and career or self-esteem struggles.

Dawn draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused thinking when people are trying to change habits or make decisions. She also uses psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused methods to understand longer-standing patterns and effects of past harm. The main aim is practical help that matches the person’s goals.

She has experience delivering therapy in schools, employee assistance programmes and a rape centre. Those roles contributed to working knowledge of PTSD, trauma responses, and supporting people in crisis. Dawn also supervises other clinicians and has completed research on working with people who have suicidal feelings.

People who choose Dawn can expect steady listening, clear options for change, and gentle exploration of difficult memories. Sessions are paced to the person’s comfort and focus on what matters most now.

How Dawn’s approaches translate to online therapy

Dawn often uses Client‑Centred Therapy online, which focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood. This approach helps when someone wants a steady space to talk about anxiety, grief, relationship issues or self-esteem concerns.

She also draws on Trauma‑Focused Therapy to help people who have been harmed or who experience PTSD symptoms. That work looks at the effects of past events and how to manage strong reactions, using paced conversations and grounding strategies suited to each person.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dawn will discuss goals and preferences and work alongside the person to choose the best methods. This collaborative way means therapy can shift over time if needs change. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls are useful for fuller conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or travel, while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
