About Donna
Donna Tibby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience. She offers therapy for adults aged 18 and over and works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, addictions and issues around self-esteem. Donna also supports people facing life changes, career uncertainty, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles.
She explains things in plain terms and encourages people to question labels they may use for themselves. Donna often helps clients notice how certain beliefs shape daily life and then try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside exploring feelings and patterns.
Donna blends several approaches rather than relying on one method. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to work with concerns like intimacy, grief, trauma and coping with chronic illness. This mix lets her shift methods as needs change.
She offers both shorter solution-focused work and longer-term therapy, letting the client decide the pace and length of involvement. Sessions can be face-to-face, online nationwide, or by phone, and she follows the ethical framework of the BACP. Donna holds an Enhanced DBS check as part of her practice.
People usually begin by describing what feels most urgent. From there she helps clarify small, practical steps while also exploring deeper patterns that maintain unhelpful habits or beliefs.
How Donna’s approaches inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used when someone feels stuck by anxiety, low mood or uncertainty about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete techniques for managing anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from important relationships and can help with intimacy, trust and recurring relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will discuss different methods with each person and agree together which direction to take. That collaborative decision is based on current needs, practical goals and personal preferences rather than a single fixed model.
The original biography lists online nationwide sessions and phone work alongside face-to-face meetings, but readers should confirm the exact session options before booking. Online or phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility limits, and they can be shorter or more flexible where needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity when life events disrupt in-person meetings.
