At The Dawn, Helen is responsible for ensuring our clinical programme and our clients treatment is aligned with The Dawn’s clinical philosophy – which includes a Trauma Informed Care (TIC) approach.  She also oversees our multidisciplinary team of psychologists and psychotherapists, to ensure that all our clients receive indivdualised treatment plans that she personally reviews with both the client and their focal therapist to ensure maximum results.

She is mature and compassionate, and draws on her significant experience in heading  large multicultural customer service departments in the financial sector, to take a strengths-based approach through connecting, listening, guiding and supporting across gender, age, cultures and presenting issues. Helen says that “walking our path in life isn’t always easy: “There are times when we need explanation and understanding about what is occurring in our lives or direction as to where we are heading. The holistic approach at The Dawn assists clients to look at their life from both a broad and detailed perspective, supporting them to heal, strengthen and grow towards living their best life.”
