About Donna
Donna Rowley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, loss, and depression. Donna aims to offer steady, compassionate help to people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Her style is collaborative and down to earth. She pays attention to each person's story and works with them to set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and new ways of handling difficult feelings and situations. Donna also gives attention to related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, commitment worries, communication problems, dissociation, and the effects of divorce and separation.
She can help people address problems linked to domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, eating and food-related issues, and persistent feelings of emptiness. She holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That registration is part of her professional standing in the UK.
To begin, Donna suggests a practical conversation to understand what matters most to the person seeking help and to agree next steps. Her work is aimed at people who want a calm, steady therapist who will help them find clearer ways forward.

How Donna works online
Another approach looks at how past experiences shape current relationships and reactions. This helps people who struggle with attachment, abandonment, or ongoing relational worries to make sense of patterns and try new ways of relating. It can be helpful for those working through trauma, grief, or difficulties with trust.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
Please confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life because it reduces travel time and lets people join from more convenient locations. It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules demand and different ways of working that suit individual needs.
