Dorothy Dixon, BACP

Dorothy Dixon is a qualified person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who brings a compassionate, client-focused approach to her practice. She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which means she follows established ethical guidelines and places the client’s best interests at the centre of the therapeutic work. With three years of professional experience, Dorothy draws on a background in health and social care to support people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Her prior work in health and social care showed her that many people benefit from a listening ear and an environment where they feel understood and accepted. That insight motivated her to train as a therapist, informed by her own experience of personal therapy and by a firm belief in the potential for change that therapy can offer. Dorothy has worked with individuals from varied backgrounds, cultures, and life situations and values diversity in her practice.

She offers an honest, empathic, non-judgemental space where clients can explore difficulties and work towards solutions or greater acceptance. Dorothy has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns, as well as related challenges such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, women’s issues, and workplace difficulties. She is based in the United Kingdom and is committed to making clients feel at ease while supporting them through the counselling process.
