Meet Celia Dunsmore

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and feel deeply passionate about supporting people to create positive change in their lives. I provide a non-judgemental, safe space for all people to feel heard and understood.

With over 25 years of experience across child protection, adoption and permanent care, community health, and headspace youth services, I bring a person-centred, attachment-informed approach combining Emotion Focused Therapy, Compassion Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems.

How I Can Help

  • Anxiety — evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help manage anxious thoughts and regain a sense of control.
  • Depression — compassionate, non-judgemental support to explore root causes, develop coping skills, and rediscover meaning.
  • Trauma & EMDR — specialised trauma-informed care using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy from a fully qualified EMDR Therapist.
  • Relationship Support — understanding attachment patterns and improving communication to build healthier connections.
  • Grief and Loss — a supportive environment to navigate the complex emotions of bereavement.
  • Personal Growth & Self-Esteem — exploring identity, improving self-worth, and navigating life transitions with confidence.
