About Donna
Donna Tibby is a counsellor who works with adults using a compassionate, practical approach. She uses a mix of methods to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety or big life changes. Donna aims to help people understand what is happening for them and find ways to move forward.
She offers short-term, goal-focused work as well as longer therapy when that suits. Sessions centre on the person in front of her and on making small, manageable changes that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Donna encourages people to question unhelpful labels and to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep them stuck. Her background includes three years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She blends approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based ideas, cognitive tools and emotion-focused techniques to shape each plan.
Donna supports people who are coping with grief, relationship stress, parenting strains, addictions, trauma and many other concerns. She also works with issues like body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and career transitions. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom.
Therapy is available online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once the client has chosen to begin.

How Donna's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts without letting them drive behaviour and to choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and living with ongoing challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of connection and how they affect current relationships, useful for people dealing with trust, closeness or caregiving issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on non-judgemental listening and support, giving the person space to find their own answers and build self-trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will discuss these methods with the client and decide together what feels most useful. Therapy is collaborative - goals and techniques are shaped by what the client needs and prefers, and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and more personal interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written conversation or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, while still using the same therapeutic approaches a counsellor would use in person.
