Dawn Mullen, BACP
Dawn Mullen is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction and trauma.
About Dawn
Dawn Mullen is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She works with concerns such as grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, anger and life changes. Dawn’s background includes supporting people after residential rehabilitation, so she understands post-rehab difficulties and addiction-related issues.
She practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Dawn draws on seven years of experience working in residential settings and one-to-one counselling.
Background and approach
Her work often focuses on underlying causes as well as practical steps to manage day-to-day symptoms. Dawn uses an integrative style that blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she also draws on mindfulness and trauma-informed methods when they fit a person’s needs. Sessions are offered with warmth and empathy, and the emphasis is on listening first then choosing approaches together.
In practical terms Dawn aims to make the work accessible and straightforward. She talks through coping strategies, thought patterns and small behaviour changes. She also supports people through recovery-related issues and the emotions that follow major life events.
People who come to Dawn can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and clear talk about goals and next steps. Her approach is collaborative - the client’s priorities guide what happens in sessions. Dawn wants to help people feel steadier and more able to manage whatever brought them to therapy.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also brings mindfulness into sessions to help people develop attention and grounding skills. Mindfulness practice can reduce rumination and make it easier to notice moments of relief during a hard day. These approaches are chosen to fit each person rather than imposed from the start.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Dawn works collaboratively to decide what helps most. She will listen to your concerns, discuss options and adapt methods to suit your goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs arise.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging suit briefer check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and recovery commitments.
