Mary Dawes Registered Member MBACP (Accred)

About me

*During the current Coronavirus/Covid19 crisis, I am offering telephone and online video counselling only as an alternative to the usual face to face sessions, to help with the anxiety and fear you may be feeling.*

I am an accredited counsellor and as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I work within their Ethical Framework for Good Practice.

I do not believe that there is a typical person or client, only that there are people who are in distress and are searching for help.

I believe that the "relationship" between client and counsellor is at the heart of the work that I do, and it is this relationship that ultimately heals and promotes most growth and well being in a client.

My approach is Person Centred and Integrative, I also incorporate Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, as I believe that no one approach fits all. Therefore, I draw upon a variety of theoretical and creative methods.

I have regular supervision on my work in accordance with BACP guidelines, and I hold full professional indemnity insurance.

I offer both long and short term counselling.
