About Donna
Donna Peters supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also focuses on issues that come up around divorce and separation, guilt and shame, panic attacks, self-love, social anxiety and young adult concerns. Donna’s direct, compassionate approach aims to make the first steps easier for someone who feels overwhelmed.
Donna has more than four years’ experience in counselling and a longer background working professionally in the NHS.
Background and approach
She has completed over 450 clinical hours with clients in person, by phone and online, and volunteered for seven years at a bereavement charity where she helped adults and young people with grief and loss. Her work draws on person-centred ideas and an integrative counselling approach.
That means sessions begin by listening to what matters to the individual and then using practical techniques when they are helpful. Techniques mentioned include cognitive behavioural tools and solution-focused brief therapy, used selectively to tackle specific problems like panic attacks or low mood. In sessions Donna aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate.
She explains things plainly and helps people try small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. People can expect a steady, practical focus rather than quick fixes. She encourages anyone taking the step to seek support to be proud of that decision and says counselling is a process worked on together.
