About Dawn
Dawn Redwood offers a client-centred approach that keeps the person's needs at the heart of therapy. She uses clear, kind listening and tailors sessions to what each person brings. Dawn holds the NCPS credential and has five years' practice in counselling across different settings.
She began training as an integrative counsellor, which gave her a broad view of helpful ways to work with people. That training is combined with additional study, clinical supervision practice, and a recent research paper on working with people who have had suicidal thoughts.
Background and approach
These experiences shape how she plans sessions and supports people when issues feel urgent. Dawn has worked both in independent practice and within organisations and charities. Her work has included roles in schools, employee assistance programme provision, and a rape centre.
Those roles gave her practical experience with anxiety, depression, relationship pain, post-traumatic stress and trauma. In sessions she focuses on listening and helping people make small, useful changes. She uses different approaches depending on the concern, including solution-focused ideas and trauma-informed methods.
Conversations aim to help people manage stress, cope with change, and feel steadier in day-to-day life. People can expect straightforward language and a calm manner. Dawn supports exploration of grief, identity, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, workplace pressures and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She uses her clinical background to adapt the work to what feels most helpful for each person.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what people want to change. It helps when someone wants clear, short-term goals and strategies to manage stress, sleep problems or workplace pressures.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences. It supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress, abuse-related difficulties and strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will talk through options and adapt methods to the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process, with the person and counsellor deciding what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
