Dawn Nunney , NCPS

Dawn Nunney brings a compassionate, humanistic approach to counselling, working from a person-centred perspective and integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where it suits the client. She is an accredited anxiety and depression therapist with a UK charity and holds the NCPS credential, a counselling qualification that reflects her professional training. Dawn also draws on her background in health and social care to inform her therapeutic work, offering a practical, empathetic stance that respects each person's experience.

Having delivered a high volume of online counselling during the Covid crisis, Dawn is experienced in remote work as well as face-to-face and phone counselling. Over six years of practice she has supported people through anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, health and work challenges, and issues around self-esteem. Her practice focuses on helping clients navigate life changes, heal from past hurts, and build everyday coping strategies, using approaches tailored to each person's needs and strengths.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Dawn commonly uses client-centred therapy, which places the person and their lived experience at the centre of sessions. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and support so people can explore feelings and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside a person-centred stance when helpful, focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and related problems. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she draws on to help people find their own reasons for change, particularly when they feel stuck or are facing difficult decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dawn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Dawn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. This range of options can make it easier to attend sessions from home, while maintaining continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person meetings are not possible.
