About me
Life can be challenging, and at times, we all need someone to talk to, someone who truly listens and understands without judgement.
Hello and welcome, I'm Donna, a person-centred counsellor, dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship issues or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to help. Our sessions will be led by you, tailored to your needs and at your pace, ensuring that you feel comfortable and in control. My approach is flexible, allowing us to explore whatever is most important to you at the moment.
While the core of my approach is person-centred, I can also offer practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) if it aligns with your specific needs and goals. CBT can be particularly effective in helping you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthier behaviours, and manage specific issues, such as anxiety or depression. By combining the strengths of both approaches, we can work together to not only explore your feelings but also equip you with practical tools to help navigate life's challenges.
Taking the first step toward counselling can be daunting, but you're not alone. If you're ready to explore what counselling can do for you, please reach out. I'm here to answer any questions you may have and help you decide if person-centred counselling is right for you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
