about Danielle.

Danielle Dawson - Clinical Psychologist

Danielle Dawson — Clinical Psychologist (she/her)

Danielle is a warm, collaborative clinician who supports adults and older adolescents (16+) to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Her practice is grounded in respect and inclusivity. She embraces neurodiversity, supports health at every size, and takes a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. She focuses on harm reduction rather than judgment, and celebrates and affirms people of all identities and backgrounds. Above all, she listens to and is guided by the voices of those with lived experience.

Danielle prioritises safety, connection, and agency. Therapy with her involves practical evidence-based strategies and gentle exploration — balancing skills-based work with deeper meaning-making and emotional processing, depending on your goals and needs.
