Dawn Crockford - Reg MBACP

About me

Hello my name is Dawn and sometimes however hard we try, life doesn't go to plan at times and suddenly life is not so easy to cope with. Whatever your reason for contacting a Counsellor whether it be a relationship, bereavement or anxiety, to name a few normal life experiences, or just needing to speak to someone out of the family unit, the initial step of seeking help can be the hardest. However difficult it may be, it is a sign of strength which will support you through the counselling process.

I have volunteered in the Macmillan Centre and the Counselling department at Southend Hospital gaining experience of Cancer and helping patients and their loved ones cope on this journey.

As well as my own private practice, I also work for a local children and young persons service to help support them through trauma and grief.

You may be struggling to understand why you are responding in a certain way or holding painful / difficult thoughts and feelings that you feel are constantly affecting your life. As a qualified Integrative Counsellor, I can pull on a range of counselling techniques so therapy is tailored to your individual needs.

I am passionate to support you in a confidential, respectful, safe and non-judgemental space and as trust in our therapeutic relationship builds, you will hopefully feel empowered to look deeper into your thoughts and emotions and move forward with hope and new beginnings.

I have particular experience in working with anxiety and bereavement in adults and children, through talking or/and using arts and creative media.
