About Donna

Donna Tibby is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with adults aged 18 and above and offers both short-term and longer-term therapy. Donna aims to provide a compassionate space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming.

Her approach focuses on helping people make practical changes in day-to-day life. Donna sees a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career changes and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment or abandonment concerns, blended family issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her style is integrative.

She blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to suit each person. Sessions centre on the person’s experience and practical steps they can try between meetings. The work aims to build awareness and choice rather than labelling someone by a single problem.

Donna follows the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a BACP credential. She also carries an Enhanced DBS check. Sessions are offered across the UK via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

People who choose Donna usually want a straightforward, empathetic space to talk things through and test out new ways of coping. The counselling process begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people talk about upsetting events in a paced way and learn coping skills to manage strong reactions. It is useful for those struggling with past hurt or abuse and for reducing distress linked to those memories.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters most to a person and on taking small actions that reflect those values. It helps when anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thoughts get in the way of everyday life.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps rebuild safer ways of relating to others. This can be useful for people dealing with relationship difficulties, abandonment worries or attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose or adapt approaches so the work fits the person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expressions and build connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while still using the same therapeutic methods described above.
