I've only had a couple of sessions with Dawn but what she's recommended so far has really helped. She has let speak at length which is not something I usually do and from that, quickly identify where the root of my mental health issues are coming from.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I've only had a couple of sessions with Dawn but what she's recommended so far has really helped. She has let speak at length which is not something I usually do and from that, quickly identify where the root of my mental health issues are coming from.
Dawn is incredible. I can’t put into words how much she has helped me on my journey. I’ve had therapy from other therapists but Dawn is by far the most understanding and really helps you to get through problems and create a better life for yourself
Dawn has been absolutely amazing since the day I started with her. Everything she has discussed with me and the commitments set for me are always exactly what I need, whether I realise it at that moment, or once I’ve completed my commitments. I am extremely lucky to find a therapist that suits my needs.
The best therapist I have ever had. Excellent job, very empathetic and has a lot of knowledge. In our first call, she had already understood everything going on with me and was able to guide me through a very tough process. I am beyond grateful for her service. She is fun and amazing to talk to!
Very professional, and caring lady
Dawn is a thoughtful and considerate therapist. She listened carefully to my concerns and gave me helpful, practical advice to help me manage and move forward. Dawn really helped me deal with the anxiety I was feeling and find ways to feel positive.
Dawn listened attentively and empathetically to my concerns and provided support and a variety of tools and techniques to help me through a very challenging time. These techniques have become part of my day to day life and made a huge difference - thank you.
She’s super sweet and she is helping me a lot.
