Dorothy Dixon
Compassionate person-centred counsellor
About Dorothy
Dorothy Dixon offers a person-centred approach that puts the client at the centre of each session. She focuses on listening and creating a calm space where people can speak openly about what matters to them. Dorothy uses her BACP registration to guide ethical practice and respectful care.
Her background is in health and social care, where she supported people facing many life challenges. That work convinced her that being heard can help people move forward.
Background and approach
It also motivated her to train as a counsellor and psychotherapist and to use her own experience of therapy in how she relates to others. Dorothy has three years' professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief and issues related to trauma and abuse.
She also supports people wrestling with self-esteem, panic and social anxiety. Other areas she pays attention to include communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of abandonment. She also works with guilt and shame, isolation, workplace problems and women's issues.
Sessions aim to explore these concerns at the person’s pace. In sessions she offers a warm, non-judgemental and honest space. The focus is on understanding the person's experience and finding ways to accept or change what is possible.
Dorothy aims to make people feel at ease and to support them through the counselling process.

Person-centred support online and how it helps
Person-centred therapy focuses on the relationship between the counsellor and the person seeking help. The counsellor offers active listening, acceptance and empathy, which helps people explore their feelings and make sense of difficult experiences. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and the emotional impact of past trauma.The work is collaborative and tailored to each person. Dorothy will help identify what matters most, discuss goals and adapt the approach as the work progresses. Finding the right way to work together is part of the process and will be reviewed over time.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving options to suit different routines and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and at times that fit everyday life.
