About Donnah

Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has six years of professional experience and a practical focus on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also helps people facing grief, life changes and parenting challenges. Donnah works with people who are dealing with compulsive sexual behaviours and addiction to pornography, and with their partners.

Clients can expect a calm, accepting space to talk. Donnah aims to reduce judgement and make it easier to say difficult things. She encourages small, manageable steps and practical coping strategies. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s comfort.

Her background combines approaches that include client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. That mix lets sessions focus on what feels most urgent while also exploring longer-standing patterns. She uses mindfulness practices to help with stress and to steady emotions during intense moments.

Donnah also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at early relationships and how they shape current behaviour. Motivational interviewing techniques support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Together these methods help address issues such as codependency, attachment concerns and relationship struggles.

She works in English and accepts international clients. The site’s Start Therapy button begins the sign-up process, which includes a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Donnah aims for straightforward, respectful support that fits into busy lives.

How Donnah uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist follows the person's lead, helps them find their own answers, and works at a comfortable pace. This approach is useful for people who need a supportive space to talk about relationship or self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It provides practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety and addictive behaviours.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant and adapt methods to the person's goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and when to review progress.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines and reduce travel time. It also allows people to access a therapist in the United Kingdom from other countries, subject to any regional considerations. Confirm the current session options before booking to know exactly which formats are offered. The focus is on practical support people can use between sessions, so therapy fits into everyday life.
