About Dawn

Dawn Manton offers a warm, interactive approach to counselling, drawing on ten years of practice within the NHS and private settings. She creates a relaxed space where people can talk about the thoughts and feelings that leave them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained. Whether someone is coping with persistent anxiety, low mood, the aftermath of a relationship ending, or the loss of a loved one, Dawn approaches each person with empathy and practical support.

Her own life experiences have deepened her appreciation for the role of counselling, and she places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work. Dawn aims to build trust from the start and to listen carefully so that clients feel heard and understood. Through collaborative conversations she helps people make sense of their patterns, develop new coping skills, and explore options for positive change.

Dawn is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma, grief, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She frames seeking help as an act of courage and supports each person to move toward clearer understanding and more empowered choices.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Dawn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding emotional patterns. One strand of her work emphasises skills-based strategies - helping people learn breathing, grounding and thought-management tools to reduce anxiety and manage stress in day-to-day life. Another common focus is trauma-aware support, which helps people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on current relationships and functioning. She may also integrate brief coaching elements to set achievable goals and track progress when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dawn works with each person to identify what feels most useful given their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the methods over time to fit how the client responds. This collaborative way of working helps people feel involved in their care and more confident about the direction of therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. For many people this makes therapy easier to attend regularly and to fit into daily life, while still benefiting from the support and guidance of registered professionals and therapists.
