About Donna
Donna practices with sensitivity and respect, shaping conversations and therapeutic plans around each client’s particular circumstances. She applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting difficulty, whether that involves developing practical coping skills for everyday stress or addressing more complex patterns linked to sexuality and addictive behaviour. Donna aims to create an environment where exploration and change can occur at a pace that suits the individual.
Recognising that starting therapy can feel like a significant step, Donna affirms that taking that first action requires courage. She encourages people to reach out and will work collaboratively to design a personalised approach that reflects their goals, values, and needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support
Donna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person’s concerns and goals. She offers skills-based interventions to reduce stress and manage anxiety - practical strategies that help with breathing, thought patterns, and everyday coping so clients can regain a sense of control. For addictions and compulsive behaviours, Donna applies behavioural strategies and relapse-prevention-focused work to identify patterns, develop alternatives, and strengthen recovery-oriented routines. She also provides grief-focused and sexuality-informed support, creating space to process loss and to explore intimacy, sexual functioning, and kink or alternative sexual cultures in a nonjudgmental way.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Donna works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She tailors methods to individual needs, preferences, and goals, reviewing progress and adjusting the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy with Donna is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to access consistent support across locations and to fit therapeutic work into busy lives while maintaining a collaborative relationship with a registered professional.
