About Donnah

Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has six years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and adjustment to life changes. Donnah also works with grief, maternal mental health concerns, self-esteem, motivation and some forms of addictive behaviour.

She aims to make the therapy room a straightforward place to talk. Donnah focuses on listening first and helping people name what is worrying them. She encourages small, practical steps that feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Donnah draws on client-centred ways of working to put the person's priorities at the heart of each session. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Mindfulness ideas are offered to help with stress and grounding when emotions feel intense.

Her background includes work with people facing compulsive sexual behaviour and pornography addiction, and with partners affected by those issues. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns and family-related difficulties.

Sessions are aimed at practical coping and clearer thinking. Donnah invites people to take therapy at their own pace and to shape the work around what they most want to change. She works with clients in English and accepts international clients through the site's matching process.

How Donnah uses therapy approaches online

The client-centred approach offers a space where the person sets the pace and topics for each session. It means the counsellor listens first, reflects back what they hear, and helps the client decide next steps that feel right for them.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems because it breaks concerns into small, examinable pieces and tests new ways of responding.

Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into daily life to reduce reactivity and build calm. These practices can help with stress, grounding during strong emotions and staying present when worries feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps the client.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that regular online sessions help maintain momentum between appointments while still focusing on practical change.
