Paige Dawkins

I'm a qualified person-centred therapeutic counsellor, offering online video and phone sessions to adults (18+).

I have availability on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings and Monday and Thursday afternoons. My fee is £40 per session.

For our sessions, you would need a comfortable and private space with a good WiFi connection, where you won't be disturbed.

There's no denying it: being a human really can be tough. Life can be confusing, stressful and at times painful. You don't have to face these experiences alone. I believe that counselling can help.

Sometimes, we can find ourselves stuck in life, overwhelmed by thoughts and behaviours that seem to trap us. We can end up cycling through unhelpful patterns in our relationships, work, or other areas of life, struggling to take a step forward. And we can sit questioning who we are, what our purpose is for our time on Earth, and how we'll ever find a way through our personal challenges.

In this type of talking therapy, I'll offer a confidential and non-judgemental space where we can work together to develop a clear picture of your world. By feeling truly heard, you may begin to relate to your experiences in new ways and begin to see ways forward that you couldn't see before.

In our sessions, you can be assured that there's no wrong answer — there's only what feels right for you. By reconnecting with what's authentically 'you' in a safe, therapeutic space, I believe you can begin to take your own advice and take steps towards feeling realigned with who you are.

As a young adult, I experienced my own mental health issues and sought help through talking therapy which allowed me to move through these struggles. It was these personal experiences that then inspired me to train in therapeutic counselling.

My training and qualifications

My qualifications:

- ABC Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills

- ABC Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (2021)

I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor trained in the person-centred approach. I am a Registered Member MBACP of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I follow the BACP Ethical Framework in my practice and follow their requirements for continuing professional development. I have regular clinical supervision to help me support my clients in the best way I possibly can.

My experience

During my professional training, I volunteered at two community counselling agencies, offering online video, phone and face to face sessions with adult and young adult clients. I also volunteered at the Samaritans helpline for three years, providing emotional listening support to people in distress by telephone, email, text and face to face.

The person-centred approach to counselling focusses on each client’s individual experiences of life. This approach means I can work with clients facing a wide range of issues in a safe, supportive, and effective way. 

Above all else, it's really important that you choose the counsellor that's right for you.
