About Donna
Donna Tibby is a BACP counsellor who offers integrative therapy for adults aged 18 and above. She frames her work around compassion and empathy, helping people make sense of low mood, anxiety, racing thoughts, grief or major life changes. Donna aims to help people move past limiting labels and build more helpful ways of relating to themselves.
She uses a blend of approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. That blend includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-informed ways of working. Sessions can focus on practical steps, thought patterns, relationships and emotional understanding. Donna describes her style as person-centred and solution-focused when that fits someone’s goals.
Donna has three years of professional experience and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. She combines short-term, goal-focused work with longer-term exploration depending on what a person wants to achieve. This allows flexibility for people who need a focused plan or deeper emotional processing.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction and trauma and abuse. Additional areas of focus include caregiving stress, body image, attachment issues and coping with chronic illness or bereavement.
Practical steps in sessions include identifying unhelpful patterns, experimenting with new responses and building clearer personal values. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.
How Donna’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, low mood and situations where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping people understand how early experiences shape current reactions and close connections.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donna will discuss goals and preferences and work together to decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning means therapy can be tailored to immediate practical needs or to longer-term emotional change.
The original profile refers to nationwide online counselling and phone work, and to face-to-face options. Confirm the exact session formats available when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s routine. Phone sessions can be useful when a video call is not needed or when a quieter, shorter appointment is preferable.
