About Dorothy
Dorothy Dixon works from a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She emphasises listening, empathy and respect to help people feel understood. Dorothy uses these principles to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma.
She is identified by her BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Before training as a counsellor she worked in health and social care. That time gave her practical experience supporting people through hard moments.
Background and approach
It also showed her how much a listening ear and time to reflect can help someone move forward. Dorothy offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Conversations are guided by the person's needs rather than a fixed agenda.
Together the aim is to find coping ideas, new perspectives or acceptance where change is not possible. She has three years' experience working with issues such as depression, bereavement, abuse, low self-esteem and relationship breakdown. She also supports people who are living with the effects of past trauma or childhood difficulties.
Sessions are intended to make people feel at ease and supported while they explore tough subjects. Dorothy believes taking the first step takes courage, and she aims to empower people to find clearer ways forward.

Approaches Dorothy lists
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
Working together, the counsellor and the person decide what approach fits best. Dorothy will invite feedback and adjust how sessions are run to suit the individual's goals and preferences. The choice of methods is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
