About Dawn
Dawn Hall is a counsellor who connects with people feeling stressed, anxious, low or overwhelmed by life changes. She works with parents concerned about parenting pressures and with individuals dealing with grief, addictions and self‑esteem struggles. Dawn speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions.
She uses a client-centred way of working that keeps each conversation personal and paced to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is also part of her toolbox, offering clear strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She draws on existential ideas too, helping people find meaning when life feels uncertain. Dawn has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That background includes supporting people through relationship strain, family problems and issues such as body image, addiction and sleep difficulties. In sessions she listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals. Conversations usually focus on what’s causing distress now and what can be tried to ease it.
Practical techniques may include thought‑records, simple behavioural experiments and exploring values and priorities. Many clients find it helpful that Dawn adapts the pace and style of counselling to their needs. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can talk things through, try new approaches and build coping skills for daily life.

Approaches Dawn lists

Approaches that suit online therapy
Dawn uses client‑centred work which means sessions begin with attentive listening and follow the person's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and guides what to tackle next, whether that is parenting stress, grief or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers clear techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. In short online sessions CBT can provide practical tools such as activity planning, thought‑records and small behavioural experiments to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dawn will work with each person to decide which combination of client‑centred talking, CBT techniques or existential reflection best matches their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning happens early and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy brings flexibility for people juggling work, childcare or other commitments. Video calls let participants use body language and tone, phone sessions can need less bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check‑ins, and text messaging supports short, ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life while keeping focus on practical steps and steady progress.
