Hi! I'm Ontonio Dawson.

I have been a motivational speaker for over 10 years and, as a result, I have learnt ways to inspire and motivate people; but I wanted to learn ways to transform people’s lives and this is what lead me to become a Psychological Therapist. I have learnt tips and techniques to support individuals to develop balance and structure, manage emotional distress, challenge negative thinking patterns, and process complex psychological issues. I am extremely passionate about what I do, and this passion is infectious once we start working together.

What do my clients say?

“Therapy with Ontonio has allowed me to resurrect goals that
I had forgotten or was too afraid to achieve”.

Experience and Accreditation

I have five years’ experience working in the National Health Service here in the United Kingdom as a Psychological Therapist. I also worked as a Para-professional Counsellor whilst serving as a Police Officer in the Jamaica Constabulary Force. I am also a licensed Minister of Religion and use this capacity to counsel many people to manage life challenges. I am accredited by the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and this allows me to support my patients with a variety of evidence-based tips and techniques to manage different mental health challenges.
