About Donnah

Donnah Hewlett is a BACP and NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and major life changes. Donnah also supports people dealing with self-esteem, motivation, and maternal mental health concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She creates a calm space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Conversations cover both current struggles and patterns that have developed over time.

Donnah uses a mix of approaches depending on what the person needs. She draws on Client-Centred work to centre the person's experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thoughts and actions that maintain distress, and Mindfulness techniques to help with stress and emotional regulation.

In sessions she addresses practical problems like compulsive sexual behaviour and pornography addiction, and she supports partners affected by those issues. She also works with parenting stress, family problems, and challenges linked to aging or chronic illness.

People can expect clear, conversational sessions that look at what is happening now and what might help to change it. Donnah asks about goals and practical steps, and she reviews progress as therapy proceeds.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and putting the person’s concerns at the centre of the session. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the person clarify their priorities and goals. This approach supports people who are unsure where to begin or who need space to talk things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves noticing patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to see if they help. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that feel stuck in repetitive cycles.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. It can be helpful when worry or overwhelming feelings make it hard to act or decide.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donnah will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That discussion is collaborative and open to change as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or medical appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that suits the person’s circumstances.
