Dawn Allison

I have worked as a qualified counsellor since the year 2000. I have trained from certificate level, gaining a degree and post-graduate diploma and latterly gained a masters in professional studies in counselling and psychotherapy.

So how do I work? I work with people with a variety of presenting problems, depression, anxiety, bereavement, work place issues in a long and short term frame.

I am also an accredited supervisor of counsellors and work in organisational contexts delivering supervision as well as to individual counsellors and students. My core training is in psycho-dynamic concepts but I also have training in couple work, CBT and integrative models having taught in further education as a counselling tutor, I have a thorough knowledge base. 

I believe in making connections between the past and present and gaining personal insight and awareness into what the underlying cause may be and appropriately addressing concerns in a safe and contained therapeutic envirnoment.
