Dorothy Dixon

Dorothy Dixon is a qualified person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with three years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and works in line with the BACP code of ethics and guidelines for good practice, keeping her clients' best interests central to the therapeutic work.

Her background is in the health and social care sector, where she supported many people facing a range of life challenges. That experience highlighted for her how often people benefit from a listening ear and from having time, space and an environment in which they truly feel heard and understood. This insight motivated her training as a therapist, and she speaks from personal experience about the transformational potential of personal therapy within her own life journey.

Dorothy has worked with people from a variety of walks of life, cultures and backgrounds and embraces diversity in her practice. She offers a safe, non-judgemental, honest and empathic space in which clients can explore difficulties, seek solutions or work toward acceptance. She is committed to putting clients at ease and to providing steady support throughout the counselling process.

Her experience includes supporting people with depression, bereavement, abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and relationship breakdown, as well as those coping with past trauma or childhood difficulties. Dorothy specialises in stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem. She is a female, Christian therapist who identifies as older and liberal. Seeking therapy takes courage, and when someone is ready to make a change, Dorothy offers support and empowerment to help them take that step.
