Dawn Nunney, NCPS

Dawn Nunney is a counsellor who uses a humanistic, client-centred approach alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when it suits a person's needs. She brings eight years of practice to sessions and draws on a background in health and social care. Dawn aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or difficult emotions.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship worries. She also works with issues such as addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related problems. Jealousy and commitment worries are among the relationship topics she supports people to talk through.

In session Dawn focuses on practical conversation and coping steps. She listens to what matters most and helps people identify small, manageable changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used when it can help break unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits.

Her experience includes a large volume of online counselling during the Covid crisis, plus face-to-face and phone work. Dawn is listed with NCPS, which appears in her professional details. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international enquiries in English.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Payment is handled via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or understand about their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as the work progresses.

The counsellor has considerable experience delivering online sessions, alongside face-to-face and phone work. If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the core therapeutic work.
