Hello, I'm Donna, an experienced and compassionate therapist with over 10 years in private practice. Whatever has brought you here, you've already taken an important first step by looking for support.
I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. Life can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from ourselves, whether through anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, low mood, identity struggles or other life challenges. You don't have to face these experiences alone.
I can't change what has happened, but I can walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences and move towards healing and growth.

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re tired. And not just the “really need a nap” kind of tired, but the deep, soul-level exhaustion that comes from trying to hold everything together for too long.
Maybe you’re living with chronic illness, trauma, or the quieter kind of pain that’s harder to name but just as heavy to carry.
Maybe you’ve spent years being “the strong one” for everyone else and now there’s nothing left in the tank for you.
Whatever shape your story takes, you deserve a place to finally tell it and gently set down the weight you’ve been carrying, even if it's just for a little while.

Having practised as a therapist for twenty five years I have had the privilege to work with many creative, resilient, courageous and resourceful people. However, very few felt that way when they first came for therapy. Life can be challenging and we all struggle at times to cope with problems and stressful situations. Different people obviously find different things difficult but what everyone shares are the natural responses of feeling distressed, confused, anxious and lost. Counselling can help you to express your feelings, work through anxiety and confusion and develop positive responses to the challenges you are facing.

Therapy is always a collaborative process. I work relationally and pluralistically, meaning we build a trusting relationship and work together to identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic. I support clients to explore their experiences safely, develop greater self-understanding, and build confidence in managing emotions and relationships. My role is to listen carefully, adapt to each person’s needs, and offer a steady, compassionate space where change can happen gradually. Progress often begins with feeling understood and continues through developing new insight, resilience, and self-acceptance.

I see clients in my Liverpool city centre office and online.
Human minds don’t fit a single template and effective therapy shouldn’t either. We start with you in mind, what’s going on for you, how you process thoughts, feelings, emotions and environments and what outcomes you’d like to see.
I’m a specialist in neurodiversity. I’ve learnt and keep learning from leading edge research to develop neuro affirming therapies that are effective.

I am a Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist with over 15 years of experience in mental and physical health services with a range of presenting difficulties. I also have specialist training and experience in providing neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation.

Are you ready to feel understood — not just heard?
Therapy works best when it fits you — not a template. Whether you're managing anxiety, processing difficult experiences, navigating life feeling stuck, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I'll work with you to find an approach that actually helps.
My style is warm, collaborative, and genuinely flexible. I work primarily from a person-centred foundation — meaning you lead, at your pace — drawing in solution-focused therapy, CBT, and psychodynamic thinking when they're useful. We find what works for you, together.

You may be a high-achieving midlife professional who looks confident and successful on the outside but feels very different on the inside. Anxiety, burnout or self-doubt may have left you exhausted, unable to switch off, and questioning whether you’re “enough.” You might long to feel calmer, more in control of your emotions, and less driven by self-criticism. Perhaps you want clearer boundaries, a healthier balance, or simply to enjoy life again.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, and it’s not always easy to carry everything on your own. Counselling gives you a safe and gentle space where you can let some of that weight down. This is your time — a place where you can talk openly, be truly heard, and know that you won’t be judged.
I believe each of us is unique. We all experience challenges differently, and there isn’t one “right way” to cope. That’s why I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach — I work with you, at your pace, in a way that feels supportive and comfortable for you.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling in their relationships. This includes parents particularly those raising children with additional needs as well as adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Many of the people I support are juggling, may feel burnt out, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, and are looking for a space to feel understood.

Are you and your partner having the same argument on repeat - or feeling more like housemates than a couple? Maybe parenting together has become a source of tension. Or perhaps you're on your own, trying to understand why your relationships keep ending up in the same painful place.
I work with couples and individuals stuck in patterns that feel impossible to shift - recurring conflict, growing distance, difficult breakups, or a sense that how you grew up is quietly shaping how you relate to the people closest to you now.
