Dawn McHale

I believe that everyone has the ability to realize their potential, and having gained over thirty years experience of working in mental health services, organisations for people with disabilities, homelessness, bereavement, grief and loss, health, rape and abuse, parenting and pregnancy issues, I enjoy the challenge of meeting a range of needs and tailoring my service to meet these. I have a Masters Degree in Counselling and Supervision, an MSc in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes, a Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People, and a Diploma in Play Therapy.

Organisations I have worked with are Cruse Bereavement Care Bristol, Bath and South West, Bristol Crisis Service for Women, Self-Injury Self-Help, SARA (Support After Rape and Abuse), Kindred Spirits, primary and secondary schools in Cardiff and Bristol, HMP Ashfield, Oasis School of Human Relations, Bodycare Clinics, Marie Stopes International, Off The Record, St Peter's Hospice, The Priory, Second Step, Social Services, Bristol Community Health, Employee Assistance Programmes, and received referrals from media including 'The Jeremy Kyle Show'.
