Hello, I’m Donna a dedicated and empathic therapist with over 10 years of experience in private practice. I can help you to understand yourself, what impacts you and how this shows up in your life by providing a safe environment for you to unpack and feel your feelings. I cannot take painful events or trauma away, but what I can do is walk alongside you and help you find your way to healing and growth. Clients often ask me, “does it work?” From my experience, it does work, and whilst this looks different for everyone, why not give it a go and find out for yourself. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy.

We all have times when we feel lost, alone or misunderstood. We want things to change but we don’t know how. Unsure of what we want we may talk to family or friends, but all they do is offer opinions. Sometimes we have no one to talk to and remain trapped in isolation unsure of own truth. This is where counselling can help.

Hi, I'm a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist, offering therapy to adults online across the UK and in St Helens, Merseyside. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or exhausted from holding everything together. Some are living with anxiety, trauma, or self-criticism. Others are navigating the emotional impact of physical health conditions, chronic symptoms, or pain. My approach is calm, compassionate, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to talk openly, without pressure or judgement, and where change feels possible rather than overwhelming.

Hello and welcome. I am a Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapist and clinical psychologist, integrating TA with body psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work both individually and in groups, specializing in eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder). Many people come to therapy after trying numerous behavioral approaches—diet plans, discipline, exercise—with little lasting change. This makes sense, as eating disorders are not issues of willpower but of emotional regulation; the behaviors are symptoms, not the root.

Perhaps you’re living with anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-criticism, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right. You want to understand yourself more deeply, feel calmer and more grounded, and build a kinder relationship with yourself. You’re ready for change, but you want it to feel safe, at your pace, and genuinely empowering.

The decision to attend counselling can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. It is the quality of the 'therapeutic relationship' that is key to progress, so that you feel supported and comfortable to talk about what matters to you. I believe passionately in the counselling process, and for me the promotion of positive mental health and well-being is at the core of our work together. (Please view my website for further information including samples of client reviews.)

I am a person centred counsellor and also have a qualification in cognitive behavioural therapy. I believe counselling is a journey of self-discovery and personal development that is a continual process both during and after therapy has taken place. Through counselling, a person will learn about themselves in a way they would never intend or maybe expect. As a counsellor I will be alongside you on your therapeutic journey and create a safe space that is respectful and non-biased to allow you to discover yourself and work through any issues that may be troubling you.
