I've only had a couple of sessions with Dawn but what she's recommended so far has really helped. She has let speak at length which is not something I usually do and from that, quickly identify where the root of my mental health issues are coming from.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Dawn is incredible. I can’t put into words how much she has helped me on my journey. I’ve had therapy from other therapists but Dawn is by far the most understanding and really helps you to get through problems and create a better life for yourself

Reviewed November 2023

Dawn has been absolutely amazing since the day I started with her. Everything she has discussed with me and the commitments set for me are always exactly what I need, whether I realise it at that moment, or once I’ve completed my commitments. I am extremely lucky to find a therapist that suits my needs.

Reviewed September 2023

The best therapist I have ever had. Excellent job, very empathetic and has a lot of knowledge. In our first call, she had already understood everything going on with me and was able to guide me through a very tough process. I am beyond grateful for her service. She is fun and amazing to talk to!
