about therapy
People often think that therapy is where you go when you’re depressed, or anxious. But often, we’re like this because we’re living a smaller, less expressive life than we’d like.
My aim is well-being and mental health, but it's also growth and development, because you know you are brave enough to live a bigger life - with better relationships and more satisfaction.
I work with adults aged 18 and over.
I have over 8 years of experience, supporting people with
Childhood trauma

about me
I'm Dawn, and as a curious therapist and perceptive person, I prioritize our therapeutic process.
I am passionate about stories in literature, art, film, comedy and community. I have supported many people who are struggling with, or feel stuck in their story - tell me yours.
My practice is centred around embodied awareness, which can feel different from other styles of counselling and I continue to develop my work in areas of play, power, difference and belonging.
I've worked with children and family groups in various settings and on a number of projects in support and development roles, using a therapeutic arts approach.
Wide open skies, solid ground and shifting waterways in our world bring me to life.
