About Dawn

Dawn Mullen helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related issues and the effects of trauma. She supports those facing low self-esteem, grief, relationship strain, anger and major life changes. Her approach is practical and warm, aimed at making the first steps feel less daunting for someone who is worried and unsure.

Dawn has seven years of experience working in residential rehabilitation settings in the United Kingdom. She has supported people with depression, bereavement, post-rehab difficulties and a wide range of related concerns.

Background and approach

Her background means she is familiar with the challenges that follow recovery from substance use and other process addictions. Her counselling style combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural methods. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, while also using tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Sessions are offered in English and Dawn is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches alongside Internal Family Systems ideas when these fit a person's needs. Dawn aims to create a calm, empathetic space where people can feel heard and start to make practical changes.

She describes her way of working as compassionate and empowering. Starting therapy is done through a short matching process and scheduling. Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working Dawn names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that suit online therapy sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel understood, which is useful for building trust around issues like grief or low self-esteem.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change thoughts and behaviours. It can help with anxiety, depression and addiction-related habits by teaching tools to manage urges and reframe thinking.

Dawn also uses mindfulness techniques to help people stay present and reduce stress, and trauma-focused methods to gently work with distressing memories when appropriate. She will discuss which approaches fit best with each person’s situation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dawn will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that match those goals and adjust the plan as progress is made. That means the work is shaped around the person's needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and access support from different locations.
