About Donnah

Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has six years of professional experience and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also works with those coping with grief and loss, maternal mental health concerns, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

More recently Donnah has worked with people dealing with compulsive sexual behaviours and porn addiction, and with their partners. She aims to make sessions a calm place where difficult thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. Donnah is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first to understand each person’s priorities. Then she tailors simple strategies to help with day-to-day coping and to build confidence over time.

Donnah draws on a mix of talking and practical techniques. She may use gentle mindfulness to reduce anxiety and mood swings. Cognitive behavioural ideas help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out new responses. Motivational listening supports people who want to change habits but feel stuck.

She describes the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. People can expect clear, steady support and help planning small steps forward. Donnah also accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How Donnah uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person fully. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and choose their next steps. This approach helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple tools to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping with stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention practices to calm the mind and manage strong emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, compulsive urges and difficult moods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donnah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The plan can change as needs shift and progress is reviewed regularly.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around work and family demands, and remove travel time. It also allows people to try different ways of meeting a counsellor and to continue work while living abroad or moving location.
