"Working with Dawn through creative art therapy has been nothing short of transformational for me. Her compassionate, intuitive approach has guided me through some of the most pivotal moments in my healing journey. What I’ve experienced in our sessions has carried through into every area of my life, from how I show up as a parent to how I care for the younger parts of myself that were long overlooked. With Dawn’s guidance through art and creativity, I’ve found expression, safety, and understanding where words often failed. I have been astounded by the power of this form of therapy and how it has enabled me to make sense of and access the things that words often can’t.
I can honestly say working with Dawn has changed my life. I’m deeply grateful for the space she holds and the magic that happens within it".
A young person
“I feel that it is very important to have a counsellor because they provide a safe place for children who may not be coping or have no-one to talk to. With Dawn I could talk about anything! She would help me explore whatever I needed to by drawing, painting, using different cards, making stuff with clay or finding objects to move around in the sandtray. We even played games! She helped me to understand some things that I have had to deal with and how to cope.”

“Dawn is an incredible counsellor who has made a huge difference in my life. She provides a safe, non-judgmental space where I feel heard and valued. Through her empathic and supportive approach, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself and have grown in confidence to navigate life’s challenges in my own way. Rather than giving advice, she holds space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions at my own pace, which helps me to work towards my own solutions. Her warmth and presence make all the difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for the personal insight, growth and empowerment I’ve experienced through our sessions."

“The counselling I received helped me have a safe place, somewhere I knew I wasn't scared to speak my opinions and feelings. Dawn helped me to understand my emotions and triggers. I am less scared and now know and understand my feelings of sadness, upset and anger.
Dawn really helped me to be more confident and find ways to handle emotions, situations and relationships".
Secondary School Student
"Dawn helped me to understand my feelings better and why I feel them. She is a good listener and she cared about me. Having a counsellor in school helped me to get through the day and week. It helped me cope with things at home so that it didn't affect my learning as much."
Secondary School Student
“I feel more happy and more able to engage myself and figure out my feelings because my counsellor has helped me. I felt free and not trapped when I was here. I think that having a counsellor in school is one of the most important things to have because they provide a lot of help and support. It helps people so much and it has helped me so much and I am so thankful.”
