About Dawn
Counsellor and BACP member Dawn Rogers has been working in counselling since 2005 and has twenty years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and depression. She also works with ADHD, autism and a wide range of life challenges. She practices in the United Kingdom and runs a private practice alongside previous roles in schools, fostering services and community organisations.
Dawn speaks from long professional experience and personal lived experience of depression. She keeps sessions straightforward and listens closely to what each person brings. She describes common issues such as masking, daily anxiety and the strain of limited support, particularly for autistic people and those with ADHD.
Her background includes counselling in schools, fostering communities, a doctors surgery, charity settings and Live Well Kent, a mental health and wellbeing organisation. These settings have informed how she works with stress, grief, motivation and low mood. She aims to help people notice practical changes that ease day-to-day life.
Dawn uses creative, grounded methods in sessions and places emphasis on genuine listening. She encourages people to recognise their own strengths and to build manageable steps forward. The focus is on what someone wants to get from counselling rather than on labels.
People are invited to check whether they feel comfortable with her approach before booking. Dawn supports English-speaking clients and accepts people from outside the UK. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online counselling
Many common evidence-based approaches focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Cognitive approaches look at thoughts and the ways they affect mood and behaviour; they help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns. Behavioural techniques focus on small changes in routine and activity to reduce avoidance and improve sleep and motivation.For people with ADHD or autism, work often includes developing coping strategies and building predictable routines. This can mean breaking tasks into smaller parts, planning for sensory needs, or practising ways to notice and reduce masking and overload.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will discuss different methods and agree a plan with each person based on their needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as the person learns what works best for them.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit more easily around work, school or caring commitments. Remote sessions can also make shorter check-ins simpler and mean less travel. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements when you book.
