Dawn Wilson is a counsellor with 14 years' experience helping people with relationship and intimacy concerns. She supports individuals and couples who are struggling with communication, sexual problems and the fallout of separation. Dawn is registered with the BACP, which appears after her name as BACP.

She helps people pinpoint what is causing distress in their emotional or sexual relationships. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and honest conversation. Dawn aims to create an empathic space where people can speak without judgment and set realistic goals.

Background and approach

Dawn uses approaches that put the client at the centre of the work. This means listening first, then tailoring ideas and exercises to each person's situation. She combines short-term problem solving with deeper work on attachment and thinking patterns.

Common themes she addresses include communication breakdowns, rebuilding trust after infidelity, coping with separation or divorce, and sexual difficulties. She also provides support around issues often reported by men and women that affect intimacy and daily connection. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client, with practical tasks to try between meetings. People who value a calm, non-judgemental listener and clear next steps tend to find her approach helpful.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past patterns of relating influence current relationships. It helps people understand why they react strongly to closeness or distance and works on building safer ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers and pace of change. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will discuss options and decide with the client which methods fit their goals and preferences. That way therapy is tailored to what someone wants to achieve rather than following a fixed plan. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing, want to reflect between messages, or need flexible timings. These options support consistent progress and practical follow-through between sessions.
