About Dawn

Dawn Lockwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or life changes. She uses straightforward conversation and steady listening to help clients make small, practical shifts. Dawn holds NCPS as a credential and draws on four years of professional experience.

Her approach begins with letting people set the pace. Sessions focus on what matters most right now, whether that is managing panic, coping after a loss, or finding motivation.

Background and approach

She aims to create an accepting, supportive space so people can speak freely and notice what patterns are getting in the way. Dawn often uses client-centred work to follow each person’s lead and build trust. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving.

Mindfulness practices are used to ground people when emotions feel intense. Solution-focused methods also feature in sessions to set clear, practical goals and test simple steps between meetings. This keeps progress measurable and manageable for people juggling busy lives or workplace pressures.

Her wider experience covers issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, workplace difficulties, and end-of-life concerns. Dawn also offers support around first responder stress, guilt and shame, hoarding, and social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by phone, video or messaging.

Dawn emphasises a collaborative process, helping each person find approaches that fit their needs and daily routine.

How Dawn's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space and mirrors back what matters most, which can help people feel understood and begin to spot patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying new ways of thinking, and testing small behavioural changes to ease anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will discuss options and adapt methods to the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process - together they set aims, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging can make short check-ins and practical tasks easier to manage between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around family, work or shift schedules.
