Dawn Redwood

Counselor

An experienced psychodynamic Counsellor with experience of working with clients experiencing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression and trauma.

About Me

Dawn Redwood helps individuals navigate challenging feelings like anxiety, depression, and the lasting impact of trauma. As an experienced psychodynamic counsellor, she offers a calm space to explore the deeper roots of these difficulties. Clients can gain clarity by understanding how past experiences might shape present struggles. This approach helps you make sense of complex emotions, fostering lasting change and a stronger sense of self.

Approach

Experience shows the work often moves from urgent feelings toward the quieter patterns that organise them. In my Parr Court room or via secure online sessions in English, we set a gentle pace so you can notice thoughts, body sensations and repeated reactions without feeling overwhelmed. I combine thoughtful, inquiry-led listening with reflective summaries and occasional practical checks between sessions to help you see how earlier relationships and moments echo in today's difficulties. This approach suits adolescents and adults seeking steady, thoughtful change.
