About Dawn
Dawn Redwood is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of other life challenges including grief, ADHD and codependency-related patterns.
Dawn trained as an integrative counsellor, which gave her exposure to several therapeutic ways of working. She now practises mainly in a client-centred way, prioritising what each person brings to sessions and their own goals. That approach shapes how she listens and responds in the room.
Her background includes work in private practice and roles with charities and organisations. This has involved counselling in schools, delivering support through employee assistance programmes, and working with a rape centre. Those settings have informed her experience with trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression.
In addition to counselling work Dawn has completed further training and a research paper on working with people experiencing suicidal thoughts. She also provides clinical supervision to other practitioners. Her practice aims to be straightforward and practical, helping people look at patterns such as people-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to address. Dawn uses a mix of listening, reflective questioning and goal-focused conversations so people can notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of relating or coping. She encourages small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Dawn uses client-centred work to keep the focus on what the person feels is most important. That means sessions begin with the client's concerns and priorities, and the therapist reflects and clarifies so goals become clearer.She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past events are affecting daily life. Trauma-focused work aims to help people notice how past hurts influence current feelings and reactions, and to develop ways of coping with those responses.
Motivational Interviewing appears in her toolbox to support change-oriented conversations. It involves helping people weigh options, clarify what matters to them, and build small steps toward decisions or behaviour changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can change over time as priorities shift.
