I was so lucky to be able to work with Dawnie. When I started to see her I needed help for depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. She helped me with genuine love and respect. Her understanding and invaluable insights helped me to find my true self and to grow as a person. Dawnie is a shining light that guided me through my darkest days, if not for her help I would still be lost in the dark.
I think about my time with Dawnie a lot, her words still help me six months on.
I am eternally grateful to Dawnie for all of her help.
If I was to need help again in the future, I would call her. I highly recommend Dawnie to everyone.

Wow where to even begin. Dawnie has had such a profound impact on my life. I was going through a very difficult time when I reached out to her and she has been more help than I could ever ask for. Dawnie is such an understanding and caring women her soul is truly beautiful. I’ve never been made to feel more comfortable and safe with a counsellor before. I would 100% recommend her service as it was unbelievably helpful for me and has definitely changed my life.
Thankyou Dawnie for everything you have done.

Where to begin, I could not recommend Dawnie more! I will be eternally grateful for the love, support and safety she has shown to me through her counselling during the hardest years of my life so far. Dawnie has a very holistic approach to counselling, in every session, I have only ever felt completely heard and accepted. Dawnie has taught me the true meaning of self-love and self-respect. She has helped me to accept and heal from past trauma in a way I didn’t believe was possible before I met her. She was a light in some of my darkest days. Thank you Dawnie, from the very bottom of my heart.

Dawnie is an amazing counsellor. I cannot thank her enough for all of her help. I had seen previous counsellor, but they just didn't understand what I was dealing with as much as Dawnie. She was the only person I trusted to be able to help me to heal. Why? Because she is genuine, loving and always present and just amazing at her job. I can say I am healing from things I never thought was possible. I will always reccommend Dawnie, and I will always go back to her if I get stuck. She is an inspiration, and such a beacon of light in the dark. I can't say enough positive things about her, thanks again so much Dawnie. Xx

Dawnie is fabulous! I have been working with her for the last 14 months and from the very first session she has made me feel comfortable and at ease. At first I wasn’t great with identifying my feelings, but she was really good at helping me explore this. She has also really built up my confidence and given me techniques to help me deal with every day life. Dawnie has a joyful and loving outlook on life and I really enjoy speaking with her.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to do some breath perception work with Dawnie. I was a little cynical if I would really gain much from going on a breath perception course; oh how wrong was I!!!
Dawnie was able to explain, demonstrate and support my understanding. We all need to breath, but the exploration and work that I did with Dawnie has supported many aspects of my day to day life. My anxiety has improved. Considering breath and its power and practicing what she taught has I think improved my physical and support my mental wellbeing.

I have been in a privileged position to commence my Reiki journey with Dawnie. She demonstrates true humanity and the ability share her knowledge with such warmth and knowledge. She is one of the most genuine human souls.

Dawnie is just amazing. Her holistic therapy techniques focused on breathing for wellbeing helped me through my PTSD like no other therapy could. Dawnie is simply the most beautiful human, who really cares about the history, life and wellbeing of her clients. I felt I could talk to her truthfully without fear of judgment or rejection. Dawnie remains professional at all times, but with a caring and considerate approach. Dawnie gave me Reiki therapy and along with breath perception therapy I was able to feel comfortable in my own body and mind again, the connection between the two came back and in turn I was able to heal spiritually, physically and mentally. I learnt a lot about the courage and spirit I had inside of me from Dawnie, and I will be forever grateful to her as she 'saved me' and inspired me to fulfil my dreams.
