About Donna
Donna Tibby is a counsellor who offers practical therapy for adults. She draws on a few different approaches to help people understand what is happening and find ways to change unhelpful patterns. Donna works with many common problems such as anxiety, low mood, stress and grief.
She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, and life changes that feel overwhelming. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice what keeps them stuck and try new responses.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and compassionate. She listens without judgement and treats each person as an individual. Donna encourages people to question labels they may hold about themselves and to build more flexible ways of living.
She blends elements from different therapies to create a plan that fits the person in front of her. That might mean practical strategies for difficult thoughts, working on important relationships, or focusing on values and small steps towards them. Donna works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework and holds BACP.
She also has an Enhanced DBS check. Sessions are offered across the United Kingdom and are available by phone or online as described by the service. To start, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Donna works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Donna will discuss different options and agree on what to try based on the person’s goals and preferences. The plan can change as therapy progresses, with both therapist and client checking what helps most.
The biography mentions online and phone sessions, so please confirm the exact session formats when booking. Online and phone work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, save travel time, reduce the need for being on camera, or allow a shorter check-in when life is hectic. Many people find these formats help them keep therapy consistent alongside family, work and other responsibilities.
