About Donna
Donna Tibby is a counsellor who works with adults aged 18 and over. She trained to practise integrative therapeutic counselling and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Donna blends short-term, solution-focused work with longer-term therapy depending on what a person needs.
She offers a calm, empathic space to talk through big life events, low mood, anxiety, racing thoughts or ongoing struggles that don’t seem to shift. Donna writes that people sometimes live by labels such as "I am an anxious person" and she helps clients question those beliefs and try different ways of living. Her style is practical and person-focused rather than one-size-fits-all.
Donna combines several approaches to build a tailored plan for each person. She uses methods that encourage acceptance, behaviour change and emotional connection to address concerns like grief, relationship strain, addiction, trauma and self-esteem. Therapy aims to increase understanding and help someone make changes that matter to them.
Sessions may be arranged to fit shorter or longer-term goals and can be shaped to match a client’s pace. Donna follows the BACP ethical framework and holds an Enhanced DBS check. She works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English.
To start, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. The counselling subscription can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist arrangements.

How Donna’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with worry, sleep and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can support people working on trust, intimacy and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt the plan as therapy unfolds so the process feels relevant and manageable.
The biography mentions nationwide online counselling and phone sessions alongside face-to-face work, but session formats can change. Confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that talking remotely still allows focused, practical work and emotional support tailored to everyday life.
