Fazila Dawson

I am an Integrative Relationship Counsellor who works with both couples and individuals on a range of issues affecting relationships and personal well-being.

My work is underpinned by psychodynamic, systemic and attachment-based principles. I therefore consider a client’s personal, relationship and family history, cultural background as well as their current context within the therapeutic process. 

Working in a warm, gentle, and balanced way and with client’s objectives in mind is key in my approach. I utilise varied theoretical lenses, psychoeducational material, reflection, and sometimes creative approaches to help clients find greater clarity on their concerns, build self-awareness, and strengthen or develop new coping mechanisms. 

I have a strong awareness and knowledge of attachment trauma and complex trauma which guides my work. I also have interest in the lived experience of families living with children with additional support needs as well as relationships affected by additional support needs.

For face-to-face appointments, I am based on the southside of Glasgow and offer a very calm therapeutic space for you to share your concerns. 

I also offer online appointments and can sometimes offer a mixture of both face-to-face and online if clients work patterns require this.

Rates are £50 for individuals and £60 for couples. 

Prior to your first session, I happy to speak with you over the phone or via zoom for an initial consultation (at no cost).  

At the first session, I will take some details from you regarding your self and your concerns and I will invite you to ask any questions you may have. It is also an opportunity for you to assess whether you feel comfortable working with me.
