About Donna
Donna Rowley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and depression. She offers calm, respectful care and works alongside each person to find the most useful way forward. Donna holds BACP as a credential and brings steady, practical support to difficult moments.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set simple goals they can use between sessions. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most urgent and trying small changes that make daily life easier.
Donna has worked with people facing loss and end-of-life concerns and knows how overwhelming grief can be. She also supports those dealing with relationship breakup, caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image and addiction issues. Her experience includes trauma, dissociation and the complex emotions that follow abandonment or adoption history.
In the room she offers practical tools alongside space to process feelings. That might mean pacing conversations, developing coping steps, or rehearsing new ways to communicate. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who value clear guidance and gentle challenge often find her helpful. If you want a counsellor who will listen, suggest manageable steps and adapt the plan as you go, she can help you navigate the next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Donna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine talking, problem-solving and practical exercises. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people notice patterns and try small changes that can lessen worry and lift mood.A second approach concentrates on processing traumatic memories in a paced way so they cause less reactivity day to day. That work aims to help people feel safer in their responses and regain control over flashbacks, dissociation or strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative planning shapes sessions and the techniques used so they match individual needs.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a full visit isn’t possible. It can also offer options for shorter or longer meetings to suit a workday, caregiving responsibilities or fluctuating health, helping therapy fit around everyday demands rather than the other way round.
