About us
Both online and face to face assessments and counselling sessions are being provided by New Dawn.
New Dawn Counselling Centre is a Community Interest Company (CIC) that provides accessible counselling to the whole community.
Run by a team of professionally qualified counsellors, student counsellors and volunteer receptionists, the centre offers a confidential and accepting environment where people can feel safe and receive the support they need.
Our diverse team of counsellors offer a breadth of experience and a variety of different approaches to counselling which means our experienced assessors will match you with someone who has the relevant experience to support you with your particular difficulties or issues. All our counsellors have undertaken recognised training. They are also members of professional organisations and adhere to strict ethical codes to ensure they are working safely and with up-to-date knowledge and information.
The centre is located on the High Street in the busy university town of Beeston near Nottingham with excellent transport links and plentiful parking nearby. Our building is also fully accessible for people with mobility needs or disabilities.
Our counsellors are experienced in providing therapy for adults as well as children and we also provide therapy for couples and families.

Member organisations *
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
The Association of Christian Counsellors and Linked Professions is a professional body representing and setting standards for Christian counselling and care in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
