About Dawn

Dawn Redwood is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to guide conversations about stress, anxiety and trauma. She works to make people feel heard and understood before suggesting ways to move forward. Dawn uses straightforward language and practical steps during sessions so worries feel more manageable.

She trained originally as an integrative counsellor, which gave her experience with several therapeutic methods. Dawn has practised for five years across personal work and charity roles.

Background and approach

That background includes time with employee assistance programmes, a rape support centre and work in schools with young people. Those settings helped her build experience with depression, post-traumatic stress, relationship concerns and grief. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and career strain.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, dissociation and coping after separation or domestic violence. Dawn holds NCPS as a listed credential and describes her work as client-led. She aims to put each person’s priorities first and tailors approaches to what they bring to sessions.

Her style balances listening with practical, goal-focused conversation when that is helpful. Sessions cover a mix of short-term problem solving and deeper exploration depending on what someone needs. Dawn also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas alongside trauma-informed and psychodynamic thinking when these match a person’s goals.

The aim is clearer thinking and tools people can use between sessions.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy begins by placing the person’s concerns at the centre of the work. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping someone clarify what they want to change, which is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the impact of past events on current functioning and helps people develop ways to manage distressing memories and reactions. This approach can be helpful for those living with PTSD or the after-effects of abuse.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of helping people find their own reasons to change. It is practical for issues such as substance use, career transitions or making healthy routine changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will check what matters to the person, try methods that match their goals, and adapt the work as they learn what helps most. That means sessions can be short-term and focused or more exploratory depending on need.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works if bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging can suit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel, and let people choose what fits their day and energy levels.
