Dionne Ennels
Dionne is passionate about mental health and wellbeing having over 20 years’ experience in working with people experiencing severe and enduring mental health problems. She qualified as a mental health nurse in 2010 and transitioned to psychotherapy in 2023, qualifying as a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist in January 2025. Dionne is an accredited member of the BABCP.
Dionne is a believer of a holistic approach to mental health, acknowledging the link between mind, body and emotions. This approach is integrated into the work she undertakes with people, looking at the whole person and their experiences. She helps people to understand how their unique history and interpretation of the world can result in distress and difficulties in coping with life and its challenges.
Dionne has experience working with people who have diagnosis of: psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety disorders. Dionne recognises that some people find it important to have a diagnosis and this can be helpful for them in understanding their experience and making a recovery. However, not everybody wants or needs a diagnosis and Dionne is also experianced in working with people that would prefer to focus on what’s happening for them rather than attach this to a diagnosis. Dionne meets people where they are in their journey of recovery from mental health problems and promotes an individualised approach to psychotherapy, working with adults of any age.
Dionne has been on her own journey for improving wellbeing and has noticed that regular exercise, mindfulness and yoga are important for her to maintain a healthy mind, body and spirit. Dionne has utilised mindfulness, breathwork and grounding skills in her work as a nurse and psychotherapist. She has completed a level 1-4 mindfulness training with the mindfulness association and will be starting additional training in 2026. These skills can be integrated into the therapeutic work she does with people ensuring that mind and body connection.
Dionne is available at our Sheerness clinic.
