About Solenne
Solenne Donnelly is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses an integrative, relationship-focused approach. She blends practical strategies with compassionate listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and codependency. Solenne speaks English and French and brings five years of clinical practice in Australia to her sessions.
Solenne often helps people untangle patterns that feel stuck. She uses plain language to talk about thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and works on building clearer boundaries and healthier routines. Many clients come with concerns about identity, intimacy, grief, or eating and body image, and she addresses these in straightforward, goal-focused ways.
Her methods draw on cognitive behavioural skills, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-informed work. Sessions include practical tools for emotion regulation, improving communication, and coping with life changes. Solenne aims to make therapy useful from the first few meetings rather than leaving change until later.
She also integrates ideas from dialectical behaviour therapy when people need help tolerating strong emotions. This looks like learning short skills for distress tolerance and breathing space practices to regain calm. Solenne supports people working through trauma, abuse, divorce and separation, and related struggles with dissociation or abandonment.
Solenne holds PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia credential. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where clients set the pace and goals. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit their timing and needs.
Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, doable steps toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people rework connection and trust in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental conversation where the client leads and the therapist follows, helping people feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and test what feels most useful, adjusting methods to match the client's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where skills, experiments and goals are reviewed together.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use written tools, breathing and grounding exercises, and homework that slot into everyday life while maintaining the same therapeutic focus as face-to-face sessions.
