About Dorothy
Dorothy Dixon is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with three years' experience. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Dorothy works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem concerns.
She draws on a background in health and social care where she supported people through practical and emotional challenges. That work showed her the value of listening and of giving people time to make sense of their experiences. Those lessons led her to train as a therapist and to work in counselling full time.
Dorothy uses person-centred ways of working, helping people speak about what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and focused on the client's priorities. She helps people talk through feelings linked to abandonment, guilt and shame, relationship breakdown, trauma from the past, and anxiety such as panic or social phobia.
Her practice aims to be straightforward and respectful. She describes the work as honest and non-judgemental, with attention to making people feel at ease. People bring issues like bereavement, low self-esteem, workplace pressure or struggles with forgiveness, and she works with them on these topics.
Dorothy has experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. She invites clients to explore whether they want to find practical solutions or to reach greater acceptance about things that cannot be changed.
How her person-centred approach works online
Person-Centred Therapy focuses on what the client brings to each session. The therapist listens without directing the conversation and follows the client's priorities. This method often helps with feelings tied to guilt, shame, grief and anxiety because it gives time to talk through difficult emotions. Dorothy aims to be collaborative about the approach used. She will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. If a particular way of working does not feel helpful, she can adapt the session focus as they go. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping check-ins brief when needed. The exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can reduce travel, make it easier to schedule during a work break, and allow for quieter surroundings or shorter phone-based check-ins when that suits the client.Areas of expertise
