Dawn Jalland

Are you feeling anxious, low, or emotionally overwhelmed—but unsure why?

Perhaps there’s a deep sadness within you, or a feeling of being stuck, lost, or disconnected from yourself. You might be searching for a safe space to be truly heard—without judgment—where you can take your time to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

I can offer you that space.

I provide a calm, empathic, and non-judgemental environment where you can begin to gently reconnect with yourself, explore your feelings, and make sense of your emotional world at your own pace.

Together, we can work to:

Understand the root causes of anxiety, sadness, and low mood

Identify and shift unhelpful patterns or defences

Reconnect with your inner strengths and self-worth

Experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling, and being in the world

I take a humanistic, person-centred approach to therapy, which means I walk alongside you, offering compassion and insight—not quick fixes or judgement. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, whole, and empowered in your life.

Get in touch today to begin your journey toward healing and reconnection.

I believe therapy should meet you where you are—emotionally and physically.

As a humanistic, client-led counsellor, I offer a range of flexible options so you can access support in the way that feels most comfortable and empowering for you.

You can choose from:

Face-to-face sessions in a private, welcoming therapy space

Online or telephone counselling for convenience and accessibility

Walking and Talking Therapy—a grounding, nature-based alternative to the traditional therapy room

I offer a free 30 minute telephone consultation to all new clients

I offer clinical supervision grounded in Person-Centred theory and a humanistic, relational approach. Just as in my psychotherapy work, I view the supervision space as a collaborative and compassionate environment where supervisees—whether qualified or in training—can reflect, grow, and feel truly supported.

My role is to facilitate your professional and personal development, helping you deepen your understanding of the therapeutic process, build self-awareness, and develop confidence in your work. I aim to create a space that is safe, empathic, and non-judgemental, where all emotions and challenges can be explored without fear, and where you are encouraged to be restorative, resilient, and optimistic in your practice.

I work with counsellors from a range of modalities and use the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision (Hawkins & Shohet) to provide structure. This allows us to explore your client work from multiple perspectives, including relational dynamics, interventions, and your own internal responses. My practice is underpinned by the BACP Ethical Framework, with a strong emphasis on the principle of non-maleficence.

Qualifications:

Diploma in Supervision (Northside Training – Ronen Stilman & Bev Gibbons)

First-Class Honours Degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy

Level 5 Diploma in Counselling Children & Young People
