Dawn has over 25 years of experience working as a Registered and Chartered psychologist. Over this time she has primarily worked clinically with individuals who have mental health and learning disability needs, within secure settings as well as the community.    Dawn's clinical work has focused on a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, psychological trauma, anger and aggression, emotional regulatioharm and domestic violence.  Dawn has particular interest and experience working with neurodiverse young people and adults  and helping support families and educators working with these presentations.  Dawn has many years experience working in forensic settings as well and therefore undertakes assessments as an expert witness for criminal and family courts.  ​ "My priority is to ensure that I give a positive and individual service to everyone I see, recognising that there may be mixed feelings for people coming to see a psychologist or "having therapy". I have received feedback from adults, young people and children who I have worked with, who have said that they felt quickly at ease during sessions, listened to and appreciative of my flexibility in adapting sessions to meet their own circumstances and way of expressing themselves".

I am Sarah Jane, an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist, offering a collaborative, creative, and relational approach in my practice. Working therapeutically with the arts offers a gentle and facilitating environment in which to deepen self-awareness and support potential for change, growth, and well-being. I work with all age groups, from children to adults, utilising the arts in many forms including sand play, clay, paints, poetry, and imagination. My clinical experience has been developed in many environments, such as education, community and NHS settings, supporting my flexible, positive, and creative approach. My current private practice provides a safe empathic space in which to explore life worries and challenges in total confidence. Sometimes words are not enough to express how you are feeling, so if you feel ready to take a step towards healing change, please contact me for a chat, or to arrange an initial assessment.
