How Donna's approaches work online and in conversation
Donna frequently uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many everyday difficulties.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take small steps towards a more meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. That approach supports coping with chronic worry, loss and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will discuss different methods and agree on what feels most helpful. Together they set goals and test practical strategies, adjusting the plan as needs change.
