As someone new to therapy, I appreciated Dr Dawson's calm approach. His CBT techniques helped me manage my anxiety more day-to-day, and I felt heard from our first session here in Woodend. Highly recommend for anyone in the Macedon Ranges.
Great local psychologist in Woodend. The individual therapy sessions are practical, and I’ve found the anxiety management coaching incredibly helpful. The office is easy to get to, and the pacing fits my schedule well.
Dr Dawson is thoughtful and respectful. We did a series of CBT-led sessions that helped my teenage son in our family therapy, and the improvements have been noticeable. Would recommend to anyone in the Macedon Ranges.
I saw Dr Dawson for couples therapy and found the sessions insightful and warm. He creates a safe space to talk openly, which made a big difference for us living in Woodend. Will be back if we need more support.
Relieved to find a local psychologist who understands our community. The anxiety management counselling helped me recognise triggers and adopt practical coping strategies. Convenient location on High Street.
I’ve had a few sessions with Dr Dawson for CBT and anxiety. He’s clear, supportive, and doesn’t push too hard. The progress is gradual but real, and I feel more in control since starting at Woodend.
Excellent experience. The family therapy sessions were exactly what our household needed, and the skills I learned are helping my day-to-day interactions at home in the Macedon Ranges. Very grateful.
