Our thoughts are with anyone who feels that life is not worth living or has lost a loved one to su***de. With the right support, there is hope for emotional healing.

According to the NHS around one quarter of adults in the UK have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives. Though only a small percentage take action on these, we do not want anyone to feel this way.

Our clinicians are experienced in helping individuals work through their difficulties, seeing first-hand the positive impact that therapy can have in reducing suicidal ideation. If you need support, do not hesitate to reach out.

Many autistic individuals prefer not to make direct eye contact, as it makes them feel overstimulated and uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, this can be misperceived as inattention in cultures where eye contact is important.

This is your gentle reminder that there is no right or wrong way to make eye contact, simply differences. 💗

If you have tried therapy before but found it unhelpful, it is possibly because:

a) The therapist was not the right fit for you
b) The type of therapy did not meet your needs

At The Dawn Practice we have clinicians offering a wide variety of therapies.

When a client approaches us for a mental health assessment, we take their history and specific needs into consideration to ensure that the therapy type is right for them. We also build in regular reviews, so there are opportunities to adapt modalities as we go.

Most importantly, everything is 100% evidence-backed and carefully considered, so you can trust that you are in safe hands.
