About Dawn

Dawn Mullen is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also helps with life changes, relationship strain, grief, anger and career concerns. Dawn works with those dealing with post-rehab challenges, substance and process addictions, and related feelings such as guilt, shame or isolation.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. Dawn has seven years of experience working in residential rehab settings and with people after treatment. Her background means she knows practical challenges that can follow recovery and major life transitions.

Dawn uses an integrative approach. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when helpful. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and on small, workable steps that fit everyday life.

Her manner is warm and compassionate. Dawn aims to create an empowering space where people can talk through what matters, try new coping strategies and work towards steady change. She emphasises collaboration and tailors the work to each person's needs.

If taking the first step feels daunting, she offers steady support through the early stages of change. People are invited to share their concerns at a pace that feels manageable while building skills for longer term wellbeing.

How these approaches can help in online therapy

Dawn blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in a way that suits each person. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them feel heard and supported while they work through choices and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage cravings and change patterns that get in the way of work or wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and daily life, then suggest methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins or focused skill practice easier to arrange. It also allows people to continue therapy during transitions such as returning from rehab or changing jobs, while keeping the same collaborative approach and practical tools mentioned above.
