Dawn Rogers , BACP

Dawn Rogers is a counselling professional who has been practising since 2005 and holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Drawing on lived experience of depression as well as long professional work with children and adults, she combines personal insight with practical therapeutic skill to support people through difficult periods.

Dawn has worked extensively with a wide range of mental health concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and addictions, along with relationship, family and trauma-related issues. She has developed particular experience supporting people with autism and ADHD, understanding everyday challenges such as masking and heightened anxiety and the extra strain caused by limited awareness and support.

Known for a creative, grounded style and an emphasis on truly listening, Dawn aims to help clients find acceptance of painful experiences and to rediscover creativity and a clearer sense of self. Her experience spans work in schools, fostering communities, the mental health and wellbeing organisation Live Well Kent, doctors' surgeries, counselling charities and private practice. She treats people as the experts of their own stories and supports them to draw on strengths while navigating life changes and recovery. Dawn invites people to get in touch to see if they feel comfortable working with her and to explore counselling goals.

Evidence-based approaches and online access

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques form the backbone of Dawn Rogers' practice, focusing on methods that are supported by research to reduce symptoms and improve coping. These approaches are applied in a practical, tailored way to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Alongside those techniques, Dawn incorporates a coaching-oriented approach that helps clients clarify goals, build motivation and develop concrete strategies to manage day-to-day challenges. She also emphasises attentive, listening-based support that helps people process grief, loss and complex emotional experiences while exploring personal strengths and creativity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Dawn works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can be adapted over time as priorities change.

Online therapy with Dawn is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations, accommodate busy lives and maintain continuity of care, including for international clients.
