Dawn Johnson

A specific crisis situation, an impacting experience or relationship, or a curiosity about an aspect of your life or personality can bring you to counselling. Whatever the reason I can offer a safe and confidential space in which we can explore the issue together.
 
I understand that it can be scary to share your thoughts and feelings with someone else; my work is supportive and non-judgemental, conducted at a pace and depth at which the client is comfortable.  It is my privilege to support clients, and to work with them to bring about a better understanding of themselves, and a change in thoughts, emotions, and behaviour.

As an integrative counsellor I draw on experience from a variety of counselling modalities and theories such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Person Centred. I understand this to be my toolbox from which I can customise a unique experience for each of my clients. If it would be beneficial, I am happy to explore spirituality
and faith.

My employment experience is in the charity sector; I have undertaken roles supporting people of all ages and in a variety of communities, in settings such as hospitals, addiction projects, community centres, and churches.
 
While working as a counsellor with Mind in Tower Hamlets and Newham (MITHN) I engaged with clients from very diverse backgrounds and cultures, which I found to be interesting and enriching.
