Dawn Mullen helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma.
About Dawn
Dawn Mullen helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She works with concerns such as depression, low self-esteem, grief, anger and relationship strain. Dawn also supports those coping with life changes, career uncertainty and issues like codependency and caregiver stress.
Dawn practises as a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she uses alongside seven years of direct experience. She spent time working in residential rehabilitation, supporting people through recovery and the challenges that follow leaving treatment.
Background and approach
Her approach blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, while also looking at practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Dawn aims to create a calm and respectful space where people feel heard.
She emphasises warmth, compassion and empowerment in sessions. Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to small steps that build confidence and coping skills. Dawn also draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when they match a client’s needs.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about goals and options, followed by things to try between meetings. Dawn supports people through recovery issues such as relapse risk, process addictions and substance problems, and through complex feelings like guilt, shame or dissociation. She helps people find clearer direction and greater self-acceptance.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small, practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression and many addiction-related behaviours because it gives clear tools to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and recommend techniques that fit the individual. Decisions are collaborative and may draw on more than one method as needs change.
Online sessions can be flexible to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone work is useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy regular around work, caring duties or recovery commitments.
