Dawn Nunney, NCPS

Dawn Nunney is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings eight years of professional experience to her counselling practice. She works from a humanistic, person-centred perspective that prioritises empathy and the client’s own goals, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when appropriate to address unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns. Dawn is an accredited anxiety and depression therapist with a UK charity and holds NCPS, a professional registration that reflects her standing as a practising professional.

Her background in health and social care informs a practical and compassionate approach to therapy, and she has substantial experience delivering counselling across multiple formats. During the Covid crisis she provided a high volume of online counselling and she is also experienced in face-to-face and phone sessions. Dawn has frequently supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship and family issues, health-related concerns, work stress and self-esteem challenges.

She aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore difficult emotions, build coping strategies and work toward clearer goals, tailoring methods to each person’s needs and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dawn Nunney draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an empathic, nonjudgemental relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of work; it can be especially helpful for grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem and adjusting to life changes. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and stress-related issues. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that supports people who feel uncertain about change and can be useful for addictions, commitment issues and building motivation for practical steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dawn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time to suit what is most helpful for the client. Registered professionals and therapists often integrate these methods to provide tailored care.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility to her work. These options allow clients to choose formats that match their schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility or location while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship focused on the client's aims.
