Donna Hughes, BACP

Donna Hughes is a qualified counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgmental space for people to explore what matters to them. She works from a person-centred foundation, placing the client's values, voice, and pace at the centre of therapy, while also drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques where these approaches best support someone’s needs. Donna emphasises that counselling is not about "fixing" a person - it is about reconnecting with strengths, making sense of experiences, and finding new ways forward.

People seek her support for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship problems, self-esteem and self-love, panic attacks, social anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, communication difficulties, and women's issues. Donna meets each person with empathy, respect, and patience, offering steady support as they untangle what is happening and build greater clarity and emotional balance.

Donna holds BACP, a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and offers a calm environment where people can speak openly and be heard. If her style feels like a potential fit, she welcomes contact to discuss the next steps.
