Meet Dawn
Hypnotherapist specialising in trauma, addiction & rediscovering your true self
'Hello, my name is Dawn and I have a lifelong fascination with human behaviour, psychology and the long-term effects of childhood trauma. I believe each individual is a unique one off and that we come into the world with our very own set of gifts – a well of potential, if you like. Either through trauma or the demands of society, family etc, our original selves can get buried. We can feel like we have lost our way or can get overwhelmed with unhelpful behaviours and habits.
I have seen how hypnotherapy can unravel and resolve tricky problems and issues, and help people to navigate their way out of what might seem like insurmountable problems.
I provide a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel relaxed enough to join me in the work of exploring and recovering your true self and your true potential, also, to let go of any unhelpful patterns, habits or beliefs that can keep you stuck. It is immensely rewarding when a client starts to see real results in their life.
Dawn's Story
I trained as a hypnotherapist at The Devon Clinic, in Paignton, Devon. Since then I have undertaken further professional development courses with the world renown hypnotherapist and trainer Sheila Granger. More recently I have trained in a relatively new field of hypnotherapy SFTI, that is the Solution Focused Trauma Informed, approach with award winning hypnotherapists, one based in Dublin, Cormac Colleran and also Dr Jodi Solberg, who is from the United States. They have combined their more than forty years' experience to create SFTI, which specializes in helping people recover from addiction issues.
My areas of special interest include trauma, CPTSD, addiction and religious/spiritual abuse, issues faced by Highly Sensitive People. I'm also fascinated by personality types.
I have NCFE Level 2 in Counselling Skills.
I am educated to degree level. I attended The University of Plymouth where I read English.
My passion is helping people to become their best selves so I would be honoured to assist you on the next stage of your life journey. Please get in touch with any questions you may have.
I was born and grew up in south Devon. In my spare time I enjoy hiking in nature, particularly on Dartmoor or the south-west coast path. I like Qi Gong, playing piano, writing, crochet and spending time with my family.
