Dawn Rogers, BACP

Dawn Rogers is a counsellor with two decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She uses practical, evidence-based approaches and focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people feel and act. Dawn draws on her own lived experience of depression alongside professional work to offer grounded, empathetic support.

She helps people who are struggling with grief, low self-esteem, motivation, sleep and eating concerns, and addiction-related issues. Dawn also works with those navigating parenting strains, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to ADHD and autism where everyday coping and masking can make life harder.

Dawn has worked in many settings over the years, including schools, fostering services, a mental health and wellbeing charity, GP surgeries and counselling charities, as well as in private practice. This range of work informs a flexible approach that fits different life situations. She believes people are the experts in their own stories and builds on their strengths.

In sessions Dawn keeps things clear and practical. She listens closely, supports people to notice unhelpful thought and habit patterns, and helps them try new ways of managing day-to-day challenges. The aim is to make small, manageable changes that add up to better coping over time.

People who choose to work with Dawn are invited to discuss goals and the kind of support they want. She encourages an honest conversation about what will be most helpful and keeps the focus on real-life steps and routines that can make a difference.

How therapeutic approaches and online support work together

Many of Dawn's methods focus on changing everyday thoughts and habits that keep problems going. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioural experiments to test different ways of responding. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation difficulties.

Another approach emphasises practical routine-building and habit work to improve sleep, eating and daily coping. It supports people who struggle with overwhelm or the everyday demands of ADHD and autism by breaking tasks into smaller steps and shaping consistent routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dawn will talk with each person about their aims and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those goals. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats Dawn currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can connect from different locations, which helps international clients arrange appointments more easily.
