About Donna
Donna Hendricks is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Her background also includes help for grief, self-esteem, OCD, panic and relationship concerns.
She trained in counselling and holds a masters in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy. That training means she uses structured ways to notice thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on person-centred practice to listen to each person’s experience and priorities.
In sessions she starts from the idea that the client knows their life best. She asks what has happened to you rather than what is wrong with you. The focus is on clear, practical steps alongside careful listening.
Donna has worked in voluntary, private and NHS settings. That variety means she has experience with different kinds of pressures and referral paths. She aims to help people see patterns in thoughts and behaviours and to try small changes that can reduce distress.
She uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques and a client-centred stance. Sessions tend to combine structured exercises with open discussion so people can test new ways of responding in everyday situations.
How CBT and related approaches work in online counselling
Donna combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and a client-centred stance. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical steps to change reactions. It is often used for anxiety, panic, OCD and low mood. ACT emphasises values and willingness to accept difficult feelings while taking action towards what matters. Client-centred work keeps the therapist listening and adapting to the person’s experience.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Donna will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest a way forward. That collaborative process looks at which methods fit the problem you bring and what you want to try in everyday life.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. When you check the online options, look for practical details such as session length, whether video or phone is offered and scheduling times. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises used in CBT and ACT for remote sessions so you can practise new skills between meetings.
