How Donna uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting ruled by them, then take small steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep issues. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect and form trust, and it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment feelings and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Donna aims to find a method that fits each person’s needs and goals. She will discuss options with you and adapt techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online or phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Donna’s biography notes face-to-face, nationwide online counselling and phone work; please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to continue ongoing work, check progress and practise new skills between meetings.
