About Dawn

Dawn Gigg is a UK-based therapist with four years of clinical experience supporting children, young people, individuals, and families through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She holds NCPS accreditation, a recognised UK accreditation, and has completed a Connective Family NVR Level 1 qualification. She is also an Autism Affirmed Therapist, reflecting specific training in working with autistic clients.

Dawn works with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career stress, OCD, ADHD, and the ongoing effects of trauma and emotional abuse. Her practice also addresses attachment concerns, family problems, dissociation, mood disorders, self-harm, and the particular pressures faced by young adults. In sessions she combines warmth and compassion with an interactive, client-centred approach, aiming to create a respectful and non-judgmental space where people feel heard.

She draws on evidence-based techniques including person-centred work, cognitive-behavioural methods, humanistic perspectives, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor a personalised plan for each client. Dawn emphasises collaboration, helping clients identify goals and supporting them as they develop practical strategies for change. She aims to empower people to move toward greater balance, connection, and meaning in their lives, and welcomes those ready to take the first steps toward change.

Evidence-based approaches for effective online therapy

Cognitive-behavioural techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. They are often used to address anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and coping with life stressors by offering practical skills and structured steps toward improvement. Person-centred work emphasises a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship and supports clients to draw on their own resources for self-understanding and growth - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and navigating personal change. Psychodynamic-informed work explores patterns rooted in past relationships and experiences, helping clients understand how these patterns influence current relationships and attachment concerns.



Dawn approaches online therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each client to determine which techniques fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses so that the work remains relevant and effective.



Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, Dawn’s online practice is designed to be flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work and family commitments, maintain continuity of care when life is busy, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them. Registered professionals can deliver the same therapeutic principles through these formats, supporting meaningful progress from different settings.
