About Donna
Donna Rowley is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Donna aims to offer a calm, respectful space where practical conversations can begin.
Donna focuses on working alongside each person to understand what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative and shaped around individual goals. She listens for patterns that cause pain and helps people try different ways of responding.
Her background includes long experience helping people with loss and the impact of trauma. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and issues tied to adoption and foster care. Practical challenges like chronic illness, caregiver strain and body image are within her scope of practice.
Donna also responds to addictive behaviours and problems with alcohol or drugs, as well as eating and food-related difficulties. Communication problems, commitment and control issues, dissociation, and the aftermath of divorce or domestic violence are other areas she addresses.
The overall aim in sessions is to make steady, realistic changes that fit day-to-day life. Donna matches the pace to each person’s comfort and readiness. If you want to begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a time.
How therapeutic approaches can fit into online work
Donna describes her practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce distress and support recovery. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people tackle worry and depression in everyday situations. Another practical strand addresses patterns that arise after trauma or loss by helping people make sense of difficult memories and develop safer ways to cope with triggers.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Donna will talk through options with each person, consider goals and preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.
If you are considering online work, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find therapy that fits their schedule easier to sustain, whether sessions are arranged around work breaks or quieter parts of the day. Online sessions can reduce travel time, make it simpler to keep regular appointments, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on practical skills, emotional processing, or both depending on what each person wants to achieve.
