About Dawn
Dawn Nunney is an NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She focuses on anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns and uses a humanistic person-centred approach combined with cognitive behavioural therapy when appropriate.
Dawn draws on her background in health and social care in sessions. She offers straightforward, practical talking therapy that helps people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions often include looking at thought patterns and developing small, realistic steps to reduce distress.
She has substantial experience working remotely, having carried out a high volume of online counselling during the Covid crisis. Dawn has also worked face to face and by phone, so she is familiar with different ways of meeting and adapting to what a person needs in the moment.
Dawn commonly helps people with grief, bereavement and loss, as well as stress, sleep and eating concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, anger, parenting strains and career pressures. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment questions and fertility or cancer-related stress.
In sessions she uses client-centred listening alongside targeted CBT techniques and motivational interviewing where useful. She aims to keep conversations clear and practical, helping people to try things between sessions and review what works for them.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Her practice combines client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to give clear, practical online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, which helps with feelings like grief, emptiness or relationship strain. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and helps people test small changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or sleeping and eating difficulties.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Dawn will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She reviews progress together and adapts the way she works based on what is helpful for the person.
The biography indicates she has experience providing online work and phone sessions, and she has also worked face to face. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time, while phone sessions can be useful when a video call is not required. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these options to increase flexibility for people juggling work, family or health demands.
