About Donna

Donna Tibby is a BACP counsellor with three years of practice. She offers integrative therapy for adults aged 18 and over. Donna aims to help people who are stuck, overwhelmed, or facing big life changes.

Her style is warm and compassionate. She listens without judgement and helps people put words to what they are feeling. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and finding practical ways to move forward.

Donna blends several approaches to build a plan that fits each person. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment and emotionally-focused ideas. The mix is chosen to meet the client’s needs rather than follow one fixed method.

Clients come for many concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions and relationship issues. She also works with challenges like caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image and parenting pressures. These topics often link together, and Donna helps people untangle them one step at a time.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. People who start with Donna complete an initial matching step and then agree goals and next steps together. The overall aim is clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day coping.

How Donna's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships affect current reactions and can help people improve emotional connection and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Donna will talk through what feels most relevant, try strategies, and adapt the plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so the approach can change as progress is made.

The biography notes that Donna offers nationwide online counselling and phone sessions alongside face-to-face work, but readers should confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Overall, the focus is on making therapy workable within everyday life while matching methods to the issue at hand.
