Masking is surviving in a world that often doesn’t make room for who you are. 🌻

People don’t understand you and that’s okay.
You see the world through different eyes, and that difference will sometimes feel heavy. You’ll struggle to fit in, to feel heard, to make sense of yourself in a world that often demands sameness.
But none of that means you're broken.
You think differently. You feel deeply. You ask questions no one else is asking. These things may feel like burdens now, but one day, they’ll be your strength.
You will make your own way forward.
Not always easily, not always clearly but it will be yours. And that matters.
So trust yourself.
Believe in the girl who wonders, who dreams, who tries again even when it’s difficult.
Believe in her, because she becomes me. And I’m still learning, still growing but I made it here.
And I’ll keep going.
Just like you did ❤️

𝐆𝐂𝐒𝐄𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮

At school, I struggled. What I now know was ADHD and dyslexia made learning difficult, and my grades suffered. I dropped in and out of academic study throughout my early years.
As I got older, I found my own ways to manage my lack of motivation, focus, and the challenges of executive functioning. Slowly, I built strategies that worked for me. Where hyperfocus became my best friend.
Fast forward to today: I run a thriving practice, something that had nothing to do with my GCSE results. My success came from discovering my strengths, leaning into what I was good at, and letting go of the rest.

So here’s the reminder: don’t give up on your dreams. They can become your reality, no matter what your exam results say. 🌻

𝓐𝓶𝓫𝓲𝓰𝓾𝓸𝓾𝓼 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓼
Some losses don’t come with a funeral.
Or even a goodbye.
No closure.
No final words.
Just… unanswered messages.
Conversations that fade.
People who slowly become strangers.
Silence that settles where connection once lived.
It hurts.
Deeply.
Quietly.
Often invisibly.
This is 𝓐𝓶𝓫𝓲𝓰𝓾𝓸𝓾𝓼 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓼, the kind that doesn’t always get named, but absolutely deserves space, compassion, and healing.
If you're carrying this kind of ache, you're not alone.
I 𝓼𝓮𝓮 you
𝓘 𝔀𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝔂𝓸𝓾. 🌻

After a much needed holiday, I’ve been recovering from tonsillitis and a wisdom tooth infection (an unwelcome combo that’s left me feeling more fatigued than expected).
Healing isn’t linear, and sometimes the gentlest things, like a quiet walk through the fields and time spent among green spaces are what restore us most.
Recovery takes time, and I’m meeting each day with patience. If I cancelled your session last week or was less reachable, I’m really sorry, and I appreciate your kind words and understanding. 🌻

Back from a much-needed reset by the sea with my Gary 💙
We pressed pause, let the waves do their magic, and came back feeling lighter, clearer, and totally recharged.
Grateful for the slow mornings, salty air, and that kind of peace you only find by the sea 🌻

Behind every quiet home is a story that still matters. Age should never mean silence.

Hello, I’m Dawn and this is me ⬇️

I’m an experienced, integrative Counsellor and EMDR Practitioner based in South Yorkshire, supporting clients both locally and across the UK.
At the heart of my work is a deep sense of empathy and a trauma-informed approach that honours each person's unique story, pace, and healing journey.
I specialise in helping clients recover from trauma, using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), inner-child work, and other gentle, effective methods to process emotional pain and restore a sense of safety and self-connection. I believe that healing happens in a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued.
I work with children, young people, and adults navigating a range of challenges.
I’m an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I bring warmth, care, and integrity to every therapeutic relationship. Whether you're working through trauma or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, compassion, and respect.

All parts of you are welcome here, where you don't have to navigate anything alone. 🌻

I love these woods. They’ve been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I used to walk here with my grandad when I was just a small child, and I’ve never really stopped. You will find me in here most days. There’s something in the trees, in the paths worn by time and footsteps, that feels like home. The owl was already out, calling through the trees.

Sometimes peace isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you go and find.

Nature doesn’t ask anything of you. It offers a space to breathe, to listen, to just be. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need. 🌿🌻
