About me
Hello, I’m Dawn 👋 and I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I’m fully qualified and registered and offer both short and long term counselling and psychotherapy both face-to-face in my therapy room in Spalding and via online sessions.
I’m often asked how can Counselling help me and the simple answer is that Counselling can help with whatever feels difficult, overwhelming, confusing or painful.
It can feel isolating to struggle on alone, I’ve been professionally trained to listen and respond in a non-judgemental way. Counselling gives you support whilst you explore and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and actions. It provides a safe and confidential space for you to step back from your problems and begin to see how you have ended up where you are and how you can move forward.
If you feel that this is something that might help you, please contact me to arrange an appointment.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

When it comes to choosing a therapist it can be confusing with so many different types of counselling on offer. Personally I believe that it is the relationship between you and your Counsellor that will make the change.
I offer online and in person sessions at my premises in Spalding. My office is centrally located with good road and rail links, it is also fully disabled accessible with several free car parking spaces available.
