About Dawn

Dawn Mullen is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, anger and depression. She supports those dealing with life changes, relationship strain, career worries and issues such as process addiction and post-traumatic stress. Dawn brings seven years of experience working with people after residential rehab and in related settings.

She trained and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Dawn describes herself as an integrative counsellor who blends person-centred listening with practical cognitive behavioural strategies. Sessions aim to be warm, compassionate and non-judgemental so people feel able to talk openly. In practice she draws on trauma-focused work and internal family systems ideas to look at how past experiences shape current reactions.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help with grounding, stress management and reducing overwhelm. Cognitive behavioural methods support clearer thinking and manageable behaviour changes. Dawn often works with people recovering from addiction and those navigating life after rehab.

She also helps with caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence. Her approach focuses on empowerment, self-healing and small practical steps toward change. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire to find a suitable therapist and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Dawn’s approaches translate to online therapy

Dawn uses trauma-focused work and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past harm affects daily life and teaches ways to reduce distress and reclaim stability. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try out different responses to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

She also works from a person-centred stance, which means the client’s experience guides the work. Finding the right approach is a shared process. Dawn will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods so they suit each person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is preferred, while phone sessions may suit people who have lower bandwidth or find video tiring. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, scene-setting between sessions, or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options offer flexibility for people managing care responsibilities, work commitments or travel.
