Donna offers both short-term and longer-term work. She takes a flexible, person-centred approach and adapts sessions to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Practical strategies are combined with reflective space to help you make changes that fit your life. Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas. Sessions include exploring thoughts and behaviours, building coping tools, and practicing new ways of relating to yourself and others.
She pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and patterns. Donna values warmth, patience and a non-judgemental stance. She aims to help people build self-compassion, manage intense emotions and improve communication.
Many clients work on reducing self-criticism and increasing calm in daily life. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - MBACP (Accred). Donna keeps her work under regular supervision and continues professional development to refine her practice.
Sessions are offered in English and she works online with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The therapy process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Donna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside Systemic thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and developing flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation. Attachment-informed work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and helps people develop more supported ways of relating to themselves and others. Systemic ideas pay attention to relationship patterns and interactions and can make sense of recurring problems that involve other people.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donna works collaboratively to identify what fits your needs and goals. Together you will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video sessions let you meet face to face when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress and real-life changes.
