About Dawn

Dawn Brearley is an NCPS-accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of counselling experience. She works with both individuals and couples and is also a Relate-qualified relationship counsellor, offering specialist support for relationship concerns alongside broader mental health work.

Her primary areas of practice include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and coping with grief and loss. As an integrative practitioner, she draws from a client-centred foundation while weaving in approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, compassionate listening, and mindfulness practices. Dawn also brings a strong interest in adult attachment and systemic perspectives when addressing relational and family dynamics.

She approaches therapy from the view that clients are experts in their own stories and that existing strengths can be a resource for change. Dawn emphasizes collaboration and supports people through the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and balanced life. Her work aims to help clients navigate practical challenges, process difficult emotions, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approaches that inform online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and helps people address issues like trust, closeness, and abandonment by exploring relational needs and reactions. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic, nonjudgmental support to help people find their own solutions and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dawn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from different locations while working toward meaningful changes in daily functioning and relationships.
