I am a qualified therapist registered with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I have 12 years' experience offering emotional and psychological support to adult clients in voluntary, private and NHS settings. Through my degree in Counselling, I have learned and applied different models of therapy, my core training being the Person-centred approach. I have a Masters degree in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy where I have been trained in the knowledge and application of evidence-based treatments for a range of difficulties including stress, anxiety and depression, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, self esteem, social anxiety, OCD and panic.
I start with the assumption that I am not the expert regarding your experience: you know better than I do how things affect you. Most importantly, my approach asks not what is wrong with you, but what has happened to you. Together, I hope we can create a space where you feel heard, valued, understood and respected. I endeavour to get to know your world. I’ll be respectfully curious, and sensitive to your needs. I hope through our time together you will see things more clearly, have deeper insight and greater hope for the future.

My therapist listens to me and offers her life advice. We are both Christian so can talk about religious matters without too many problems. She is sympathetic and full of useful information to improve sleep, mood quality etc. All in all I am very happy with her

Donna makes you feel able to tell her what you need or what you are feeling. She is not judgmental and ensures you don’t feel alone in your thoughts and experiences

Donna made me feel so at ease from my first session. She has a calming tone and good sense of humour and the conversation flows so easily! Donna always helps me to understand the reason behind my thoughts, feelings and experiences and allows me to feel reassured. I feel as though Donna has helped me progress weekly by giving me ways to cope with situations as well as watch videos and reading more information outside of our sessions. I have been talking about her to all my friends and family and I am so grateful for all her work and care:)

This is my first month on BetterHelp and Donna was my first therapist, I haven't felt the need to change therapist at all as Donna knows exactly what she's doing, she's friendly, approachable and explains her theories eloquently. She makes me feel understood and offers .e practical ways to handle my concerns. I'm very grateful for her.

Had first session with Donna today and already I am hopeful for the future. Easy to talk to and validated my feelings whilst guiding me to thinking more positive. Looking forward to my next session.
Written on Nov 19, 2022 after therapy with Donna for 3 days on issues concerning grief
Donna immediately identified the reasons for why I was feeling the way I was and gave me a really good tool to use. I’ve practiced this a few times now and it really works. I have confidence in myself again and realise just how strong I am. I had felt a little like I was going mad but she helped me see what was really happening and validated my thoughts. This was so important. There are some things I just can’t share with family and friends but I could tell Donna anything.
Thank you so much.
