Hi, my name is Dawn and I am part of the LGBTQ+ community.  After allowing time to get to know more about you and your issues, I aim to support you by using a range of interventions that will match your individual needs and which my experience tells me might be most effective for you. There is no one size fits all, we are all very different.

I currently have lower cost space open for video sessions Thursday day time (£50).     I have been working as an accredited therapist for nearly 2 decades and have extensive training and experience with couples, poly (enm) relationships, families, individuals, utilising integrative, psychodynamic psychotherapy / counselling. Initially undertaking training at the Tavistock centre for couple relationships, in Swiss Cottage, London, I also worked, over some years, for a progressive gender clinic within an NHS setting whilst in private practice. I have been in therapeutic conversations with peoples in multi various situations:  cultural, gender, relationship, and sexual diversities.   I

I am a client led therapist, in other words, you will always be in charge of your therapy. As a sex-positive & kink aware counsellor, trained in GSRD, I provide a space for clients, both individuals & intimate partners, to talk openly about these subjects, & have much experience of working with clients who fall under the kink & BDSM umbrella and those who have Consensual non-monogamy relationships.

What does freedom mean to you? Perhaps you are seeking freedom from anxiety, sadness, anger, confusion…? Maybe you are seeking freedom from self-doubt, low self-esteem or a lack of confidence? Overwhelming emotions or toxic relationships? Or, perhaps you envision a life where you can fully be yourself, without shame or fear. With a focus on self-identity, self-esteem and compassion, I believe we can all live freely and joyously, as ourselves. With my warm, accepting and collaborative approach I give you the space to be yourself, and find yourself. Offering in-person appointments in Basingstoke, Hampshire or online.  

Are you overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, anger, stress, fear, pain, sleepless nights, over thinking – all of which steal, day by day from your inner sense of peace, inner sense of self, and the inner light that that can shin so bright within you when not consumed by heavy, painful emotions? Whatever it may be that brings you here today to seek therapy – know that you will be listened to, seen and heard, in a warm, calming, confidential space either face to face or online.

I work with a vast range of presenting problems though my area of special interest and expertise is LGBTQ+/GSRD shame.
