Life transitions—such as stress, recovery, caregiving, or hormonal change (including perimenopause and menopause)—can affect how we feel, cope, and function.
Hi, I'm Dawn
As the founder of Independence Counselling, I am a believer in the power of connection. In the power of supporting each other and in the power of allowing others to support us.
In my work, I offer support to people navigating midlife transitions—when stress, caregiving demands, emotional load, or hormonal changes can shift a person’s sense of capacity.
Welcome to Independence Counselling
Our Approach
Connecting
The first step is to connect. We believe that the cornerstone of successful therapy is the client-therapist relationship, so it's key that we get to know you and what you're going through.
Listening
Next, it's all about listening. The critical thing to remember here is that, as your therapist, our job is to listen to hear, rather than listening to respond. We want to help you discern where you are, and where you want to go.
Helping
Here, our role is to help you make sense of your patterns, build practical skills for navigating relationships and stress, and increase your capacity to respond
rather
than react.
