About Donna
She draws on mindful awareness to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting swept up in them. Donna also uses somatic techniques to help clients reconnect with bodily signals and reduce overwhelm. Sessions tend to be calm and straightforward, with simple tools to try between meetings.
Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including relationship strains, low self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and work-related stress. She also works with people dealing with trauma, anger, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and issues tied to adoption or family background. Hospice and end-of-life counselling is listed among her practice areas for those coping with loss and anticipatory grief.
Donna describes therapy as a team effort. She helps people set small goals and learns what works through practical experimentation. Meetings focus on usable skills, clearer thinking, and a steadier sense of control when life feels chaotic.
If you are unsure whether this style will suit you, Donna suggests taking the first step and completing a short matching questionnaire to see if it fits your needs and schedule.

How mindfulness and somatic work translate to online counselling
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. It often uses short exercises in attention and breathing to reduce rumination and ease anxiety symptoms. This approach can be useful for stress, low mood and coping with loss.Somatic Therapy focuses on bodily experience and gentle movement to calm the nervous system. It teaches people to recognise physical signs of tension and try simple practices to relieve them. This can be helpful for trauma responses, chronic stress and feeling disconnected from the body.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Donna will work with each person to identify goals and test approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus more on mindful practices, body-based work, or a mix of both.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. Registered or accredited professionals often find that virtual sessions let clients practice techniques in the environments where they live and cope with everyday challenges.
