I'm an arts based psychotherapist with a practice in Tufnell Park, North London. I work with adults on a one-to-one basis, offering to help reclaim a sense of safety, agency and empowerment following difficulties in childhood or traumatic experiences. I also offer help managing feelings of depression and anxiety, or in navigating changes and life transitions. I have an interest in working with people who feel consistently misunderstood, or for whom life feels like it has lost its substance, and seek to work collaboratively to help cultivate a sense of trust, value and integrity in oneself

I offer a safe, supportive and confidential space to explore any concerns that you wish to bring. As we have all felt lost, alone or unheard at some point in our lives, I think that everyone can benefit from counselling. It is powerful to have a space just for you to talk through the issues that are affecting you and are important to you with someone who is there just for you. Counselling is not always easy and can bring up painful or difficult memories. However, we will go at your own pace and the rewards can be life changing.

Firstly, I would like to say well done for starting this journey towards asking for help. Deciding to embark on a therapeutic process can be very challenging, but I assure you, my personal experience as a therapist and as a client has showed me that giving yourself time and space to talk through your emotions and experiences will be the most transformative decision of your life. As a person-centred therapist I believe that people have the capacity to grow through adversity within a caring therapeutic relationship. If you are feeling a burning need to own your life, take a moment to email me and see how I can help.

Clients know me for my warmth, natural optimism and deep understanding, which they say, comes from the wealth of knowledge and life experience. I aim to connect in a real and authentic way, which puts both of us at ease and allows us to feel safe enough to discuss issues you wanted to talk about for a long time, but never felt you were able to. That includes relationship problems, anger issues, depression, lack of confidence, abuse, depression, bereavement, anxiety, addiction and personality disorders. Working together might help you to draw on your own internal resources, bringing clarity and creating options in your life.

I am a qualified integrative Counsellor and a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist (CBT). Our initial session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. You will talk about your concerns, experience, expectation and your goal for therapy. I will explain how we will collaboratively work to meet your goal for therapy. I aim to work together to support and offer you a safe, confidential, understanding and non-judgemental space where you will feel comfortable exploring your concerns in your own space. I use CBT to explore the origin of unhealthy thoughts to help you to develop a new way of thinking.

Our lives are full of personal challenges, demands and difficulties, most of the time we are able to respond to them effectively however there are times in everyone's lives when we can feel overwhelmed, stuck and struggle to make sense of why we feel the way we do. In therapy I aim to help you make sense of what is happening, exploring what could have contributed to it in the past and then focus on what could be maintaining your issue using a variety of therapeutic psychological approaches. I have extensive experience of working with clients suffering from anxiety related problems and have specialised in treating PTSD.

Hello. My name is Dawn and my pronouns are she/her. I am an Arts Psychotherapist based in West & Southwest London and offer Arts Psychotherapy to adults. I was drawn to Arts Psychotherapy as I’ve always felt very comfortable using the arts and exploring myself in a creative way. When words failed, the arts came through in expected and unexpected ways and supported me on my own personal journey. To this day, the arts support me in my well-being. If this is your first time or hundredth time in therapy, no matter where you are in life, I will provide a comfortable, honest, and safe space that works for you.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
