Using person-centred and CBT approaches online
Dawn combines person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural therapy to help people manage thoughts, feelings and daily routines. Person-centred work focuses on being heard and understood, helping people clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps. CBT offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes that can ease anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to boost motivation and set short-term goals. These approaches are chosen together with the person, so the plan fits their goals, preferences and current situation. The therapist will talk through options and agree which mix of approaches to try as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a therapy-style conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief daily check-ins or need a lower-intensity way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while still using the same therapeutic methods offered in person.
