About Dawn
Dawn Redwood, NCPS, works in a client-centred way that keeps each person’s needs at the heart of therapy. She uses a blend of approaches to suit the person in front of her rather than one fixed method. Dawn’s practice is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people find ways to cope with stress, anxiety and depression.
She trained originally as an integrative counsellor which gave her a broad view of therapeutic methods.
Background and approach
Dawn went on to add other courses and now works as a clinical supervisor while also completing research on working with people who feel suicidal. That research informs how she plans careful, thoughtful sessions. Dawn has worked in independent practice and with charities and organisations.
Her experience includes working in schools with young people, providing therapy through employee assistance programmes, and supporting people at a rape centre. These roles exposed her to trauma, PTSD, relationship problems and other complex situations. In sessions she keeps things simple and human.
Conversations aim to help people make sense of painful feelings and find small steps forward. She draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas where helpful to set clear, achievable goals. People also bring concerns such as ADHD, grief, parenting strain, eating or sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and career stress.
Dawn is used to helping people cope with big life changes, compassion fatigue and issues around attachment and abandonment.

Online support
Dawn treats choosing an approach as a joint decision. She will talk with the person about what feels most useful and adapt methods as needs and goals become clearer. The aim is to pick ways of working that fit the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be handy for lower bandwidth or when not being on camera helps. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping ideas or regular support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while still using established therapeutic methods.
