About Donna
Donna Tibby is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years of experience working with adults. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, and changes in life circumstances.
She offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term therapy. Sessions aim to look at what is keeping a problem going and to try practical ways of responding differently. Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other approaches to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours.
Her style blends several therapeutic methods so the work can be focused and practical. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to small changes. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships affect current patterns. Client-centred listening provides space for people to set their pace and topics.
Donna discusses specific concerns such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, career and work issues, chronic pain or illness, and compassion fatigue. She also works with matters linked to adoption, abandonment, body image, codependency and attachment difficulties.
Sessions are offered to people aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. Conversations take a straightforward, problem-solving tone with practical steps to try between sessions. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first appointment.
How Donna applies therapy approaches online
Donna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that can change mood and behaviour. CBT tends to focus on specific, measurable steps people can test between sessions and is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions towards those values even when difficult feelings remain. Attachment-based ideas are used to map patterns from early relationships and how they show up now, especially in intimacy and communication problems.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and agree on practical steps to try. The therapy can combine methods so the work stays focused on problems the person wants to change.
The original biography lists online counselling and phone sessions alongside face-to-face work. Confirm the exact online session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
