Dawn Henley
Psychotherapist

Hello, my name is Dawn and I am an experienced and accredited psychotherapist and counsellor based in Farnham, Surrey.

Whether you're feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, or simply want to gain a better understanding of yourself, or your partner.

Seeking therapy can feel daunting, it's completely normal to have questions and concerns. I offer a gentle, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we can work through challenges and develop tools for a more fulfilling and authentic life

There's no "one size fits all" approach to counselling.

I use a collaborative style, tailoring our sessions to your specific needs and goals. You are the expert on your own life, and through therapy, we can work together to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and find solutions that empower you.

Whether you're experiencing difficulties in your individual life, relationships, or family dynamics, I offer a supportive and understanding environment. I work at a relational depth and bring evidenced based practices to our sessions.

Fees

Individual therapy £65 (some discretionary concessions offered)

Couples therapy £90

Family therapy £120
