About Donna
Donna Tibby is a BACP counsellor who offers therapy for adults aged 18 and above. She presents herself with a compassionate, person-focused style and aims to help people make practical changes in their lives. Donna works with a mix of short-term solution-focused work and longer term sessions depending on what someone needs.
Her approach is integrative. She combines methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to build a tailored plan. In sessions she focuses on what is happening now, and on shifting unhelpful beliefs that keep people stuck, such as identifying solely as "an anxious person".
Donna helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also offers support for issues including addictions, codependency, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career pressures and managing life changes. She describes her style as empathetic and practical, aiming to increase self-awareness and everyday coping skills.
She follows the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a BACP credential. Donna has three years of experience working with adults and has current checks in place as part of her practice. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom.
To begin, clients use the site process to select therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Donna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and to focus on actions that match their values. This can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from unhelpful habits.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, codependency and difficulty trusting others.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Donna works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She adapts the mix of approaches as people learn and change, keeping the plan practical and outcome-focused.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when problems flare up. It can also let people use video or phone choices to suit concentration, bandwidth or the need for a shorter check-in rather than a full in-person appointment.
