About Donna

Donna Rowley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience supporting people through difficult times. She helps with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Donna approaches each person with respect and sensitivity. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and humane.

Donna keeps work focused on what the person wants to change. Sessions are collaborative and adapted to each situation. She talks through practical steps alongside emotional processing. The aim is to set clear, realistic goals and review progress together.

Her practice also covers related struggles such as abandonment, attachment issues and relationship communication problems. She supports people dealing with chronic pain, long‑term illness and caregiving stress. Issues around body image, eating and substance use are also within her experience.

Donna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions. That means she uses methods shown to help with things like anxiety, trauma reactions and addictive behaviours. She will explain the tools and how they might fit the individual's situation.

Sessions are delivered in English and she does not take international clients. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Donna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep anxiety or low mood going. It uses simple exercises and homework to build different ways of coping. Another approach targets trauma and loss by helping people process painful memories slowly and safely, reducing the intensity of distressing reactions over time.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk about what feels most relevant, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan as needs and goals become clearer. This collaborative way ensures the methods match the person's pace and preferences rather than being imposed.

If you would like online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also let someone continue with therapy while managing work or caregiving responsibilities. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help choose an approach that fits everyday life.
