About Dawn Aitchison

Dawn Aitchison is an experienced person-centred counsellor who works with adults, adolescents and children, offering a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to individual needs. As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the Association of Person Centred Creative Arts Therapists (APCCA), she brings both depth of training and professional accountability to her practice.

Her core counselling services include person-centred therapy, general counselling sessions, and specialist support for adolescents and teens. Drawing on her post-qualifying training in trauma-informed expressive arts therapy and her certification in complex trauma treatment, Dawn also integrates creative and somatic approaches into her work. These include attachment-based therapy, sand tray therapy, and music therapy—modalities that can be particularly effective for clients who find traditional talking therapy alone insufficient or who benefit from creative expression.

Beyond direct client work, Dawn is a qualified clinical supervisor approved by both PTUK and TIS, having completed post-qualifying training in creative supervision. She also facilitates personal and professional development groups using the arts in therapy, bringing her integrative approach to group settings.

With a background that includes school counselling and specialist training in working with children and adolescents, Dawn creates a thoughtful, person-centred space where clients can explore difficulties and distress at their own pace. Her approach recognises that people seek support for many different reasons—sometimes when isolated, sometimes amid complexity—and she meets each person where they are.

Dawn offers counselling and therapy for those navigating life's challenges, whether rooted in trauma, attachment patterns, or everyday distress. Her blend of accredited training, creative therapeutic skills, and supervisory expertise makes her a valuable resource for individuals and professionals alike seeking meaningful, evidence-informed support.
