About duskin2DAWN counselling 

I'm Toyin

Providing counselling in London

For over a decade I have specialised in working exclusively with young people.  Following the completion of an MSC degree at Birkbeck, University of London, I’ve become a counsellor to young adults and older adolescents in my practice. I also work with these age groups across different educational settings.

I am an experienced, warm counsellor with a great track record of connecting well with young people. I have helped many work-through difficult issues like the depression and anxiety which sometimes occurs in early adulthood. I have also helped many resolve the emotional pain associated with eating disorders, self-harming, suicide ideation, and sexual abuse.

Before I became a counsellor, my BSC degree led to a career in the television news industry where I have worked for many years.   

It has been proven that our early life experiences go a long way towards shaping our behaviour and responses to life. I understand the considerable role early support from counselling can offer when a young person struggles with an emotional issue.

In other areas of work, I have encountered individuals who suffered trauma during childhood but had no access to therapy. This has left them as functional but unstable adults. I value the early support that I can offer as a young person’s counsellor.

Counselling is the space to safely unpick, explore and understand your emotional pain and struggles as a young person; this leaves you feeling empowered and having a secure sense of self.

I am an empathetic counsellor who is passionate about my work with young people. I am a great believer in your mental and emotional well-being.
