No matter what you are struggling with, remember that on the other side of this difficult time will be increased wisdom, the exciting potential of a better you and more of what you want. We all have a survivor inside of us, an innate ability to overcome even the most difficult of challenges. Talking to someone can help you harness the strength that lives inside you.
I graduated from the University of Victoria Educational Psychology Counselling Program in 2007 with a masters degree in Counselling Psychology and I am registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). My studies and training have focused on trauma recovery, multicultural counselling and the areas of self-concept and self-esteem. My training has included working with survivors of sexual assault, abuse and traumatic brain injury (tbi) using in-depth client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and a somatic experiencing framework. I maintain a private practice that includes working with the CEDRIC Centre for Counselling that specializes in food and exercise related disorders. I aslo work as a counsellor at BC Families in Transition – BCFIT (formerly the Divorce and Separation Resource Centre) and am also a counsellor/case manager for Lifetime Networks Victoria (LNV) an organization that builds safe and secure futures for those isolated and vulnerable due to disability within our community by developing and maintaining lifelong personal support networks that include family, friends and community.

Welcome to Dawn Cox Counselling
Psychotherapeutic Counselling Services in Victoria, BC
If you are struggling with personal, marriage or couples relationship problems, remember that on the other side of this difficult time will be increased wisdom, the exciting potential of a better you and more of what you want. We all have a survivor inside of us, which is an innate ability to overcome even the most difficult of challenges. Talking to someone can help you harness the strength that is already inside of you.
I see therapy as an opportunity for clients to realize their own strengths and create the changes they envision for themselves through the safety of a supportive, caring and respectful client-therapist relationship. I believe in keeping therapy as brief as possible and focusing on solutions..
I use an integrative approach in my work with clients, drawing from several different psychotherapeutic frameworks. I adapt the approach that best meet the needs, goals or preferences of my clients when it comes to various individual, marriage and couples relationship issues. I believe strongly in the importance of the counselling relationship and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment. I specialize in marriage and couples counselling, gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals and couples, eating disorders, self-esteem, trauma recovery, brain injury recovery, and life planning or personal development services. Depression and anxiety counselling are also specialties of my practice. I use in-depth client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and a somatic experiencing framework but also integrate art therapy techniques, narrative work and an attachment theory perspective where it suits the client.
I work in accordance with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) Code of Ethical Conduct and I am dedicated to ongoing professional development.
