My name is Dawnie Browne.  In my early 30s, I am a therapist working with adults and young people, individuals and organisations in the County Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne area.  I am motivated by a genuine interest in people and hold a Masters Degree in Counselling.

The services I offer include:

• Counselling and Gestalt Therapy
• Breath Perception (Relaxation) Training and Relaxation Therapy
• Counselling integrated with Yoga
• Tailored Self-Care Programs
• Reiki Treatments and Courses – for Relaxation, Personal Development and for Couples

Breath Perception is a powerful, easy to use technique for self-care and management of stress and anxiety, that brings balance to your life and relationships.  It works by harnessing the natural resource of your breathing process and is underpinned by thinking in the field of neuroscience (the science of the nervous system), yoga (Mindfulness) and infant attachment theory. >>Read more>>

In addition to and separate from my private practice, I work as a bereavement and general counsellor with adults for a charity in Sunderland and as a children’s counsellor for Durham County Council.  My therapeutic experience over the past five years includes working as a coach with young adults focussing on well being, communication and personal performance, and integrating yoga with counselling working with young athletes competing at international level.

I have presented well received workshops on breathing at national conferences for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and had articles on ‘Breathing for self-care and personal resilience’ published in various journals.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I am bound by their ethical code and framework for good practice, and committed to continous professional development.  In addition to my traditional counsellor training I dedicated two years of my life to full-time study of the ancient Mindfulness practice, yoga living in Thailand, where I also served as a Reiki Apprentice. The skills and insights I gained from this experience support the efficacy of the bespoke service I offer you. >> Read More>>
