Dawn Wilson
Compassionate, practical help for intimacy and relationship issues
About Dawn
Dawn Wilson is a counsellor with 14 years of experience helping people address relationship and intimacy-related issues. She holds BACP and offers practical, straightforward support for emotional and sexual relationship concerns. Dawn keeps sessions focused and compassionate so people can talk through what matters most to them.
She helps people untangle communication problems and the pain that follows infidelity or broken trust. She also supports those coping with separation or divorce and those facing sexual dysfunction.
Background and approach
Dawn pays attention to both emotions and everyday behaviours to find realistic next steps. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to be collaborative - she listens, reflects, and then suggests ways to try different behaviours or conversations.
Practical tools and short exercises are used alongside open talking to build new patterns. Dawn blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how past patterns affect present relationships, uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, and employs solution-focused techniques to plan small, achievable changes.
People who want direct, caring help with intimacy or relationship struggles will find a clear, task-oriented approach. Dawn focuses on what can be changed now, while also acknowledging the emotional weight of the problems people bring to therapy.

How Dawn's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional reactions. It helps people understand why they respond to partners in particular ways and supports changes to feel more supported in relationships.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating space to talk without judgement. This approach helps people feel heard and gradually find their own solutions to relational and intimacy concerns.
Dawn works collaboratively to choose the best approach for each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques from different methods. Finding the right fit is part of the therapy process and happens together over the first few sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face interaction when hearing tone and seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a simple check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or working through ideas between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still using attachment, client-centred and practical techniques.
