About
Mo Dixon, BACP registered counsellor and coach
I offer a compassionate, supportive space to think about what’s going on for you. The way I work is grounded in warmth, curiosity and connection. Feeling understood is important, but I also believe in gently helping you find clarity. At times I may offer thoughtful challenge, always with care, to help you see things from a different perspective and move forward in a way that feels more like you.
I’ve always been interested in how the human mind works — the ways we make sense of our experiences, and the stories we tell ourselves and each other. In our work together, I may sometimes share psychological ideas where they feel helpful, but the focus is always on your experience and what matters most to you.
The process of counselling isn’t always straightforward. At times it can feel heavy, or difficult to sit with what’s coming up. There may be moments where we slow things down and allow space for reflection, and others where I might gently offer a different perspective. There can also be moments of lightness — humour and laughter can have their place too.
I tend to work in a more interactive way, rather than sitting back in silence. My role is to meet you where you are, and to offer a space where you have the time and support to explore what’s going on for you, at your own pace.
Above all, I aim to offer a space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and begin to find your own way forward. Together, we can begin to view your life story with kindness and move towards a future that feels more truly your own.
