About Donna
Donna Tibby is a BACP counsellor with three years of practice. She offers one-to-one therapy for adults aged 18 and over and aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood or painful life events. Donna writes in a warm, straightforward way and focuses on understanding what is happening for each person right now.
She uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. That means sessions can include reflective listening, practical strategies, and work on values and meaning.
Background and approach
Conversations cover things like relationships, grief, self-esteem, addiction, career strain, parenting stress and difficulties with sleep or eating. Donna pays attention to how people talk about themselves. She helps people challenge limiting labels such as "I am an anxious person" and explore alternatives that feel truer and more helpful.
Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and encourage small changes that add up over time. Her way of working is collaborative and paced to each person. She draws on existential thinking to look at meaning and choice, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment ideas to support coping and relationships.
Cognitive Behavioural techniques and a client-centred attitude are also part of her practice. Sessions are available across the United Kingdom by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Donna follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and holds BACP registration.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when people feel stuck, overwhelmed by life changes, or uncertain about direction by encouraging honest reflection and clearer values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends acceptance with committed action. It supports people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It can be useful for people who struggle with trust, intimacy or repeating relationship difficulties.Donna treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try out ways of working that fit. That collaborative stance means therapy can shift as needs change, moving between values work, practical strategies and relational exploration.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls suit lower-bandwidth needs or when being on camera is difficult, live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
