About me
Hello, I am Donna.
I am a qualified and experienced integrative therapeutic counsellor who offers short-term, and long-term therapy for adults individuals and couples.
My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is rooted in compassion and empathy for you as a unique individual. I work with a wide range of issues that may be impacting your life and how you feel about yourself. This could be a life event that is too big or painful to face alone; or maybe you can’t explain the low mood, anxiety or racing thoughts you are experiencing and want to work towards deeper understanding and self-awareness.
I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work related issues, bereavement, attachment to name a few.
I blend a range of theoretical modalities to create a holistic personalised therapeutic framework to help bring about change and deeper self-awareness.
My aim is to create a confidential and private therapeutic counselling space. This is either in person from practices in Finchley Central, Golders Green, High Barnet or Harrow. Alternately I offer nationwide online counselling from the comfort of your own home.
All locations are a short walk from tube stations and free parking. Rooms are bright and spacious and are ideal for individuals and couples with a waiting area and intercom access.
I adhere to the ethical framework of the BACP and hold a full Enhanced DBS check.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
