About Donna

Donna Peters is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also focuses on issues around divorce and separation, guilt and shame, panic attacks, self-love, social anxiety and young adult concerns. Donna works in a direct, down-to-earth way to help people feel clearer about their next steps.

She draws on over four years of counselling experience and a background of long service in the NHS.

Background and approach

Donna has completed more than 450 clinical hours with clients in person, by phone and online. She also volunteered for seven years at a bereavement charity and has practical experience helping people manage loss and bereavement. Donna uses a person-centred approach and practises as an integrative counsellor.

That means she meets people where they are and adapts techniques to suit the situation. She may use cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused strategies when they fit the problem. Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward.

People can expect a respectful, empathetic space to talk and try new ways of dealing with difficult thoughts and feelings. Donna aims to help people build coping skills and increase confidence over time. She lists registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered from the United Kingdom by video, phone, live chat or messaging.

How Donna adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Donna uses person-centred practice to build a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying feelings and helping people decide what matters most to them. It is useful for grief, low self-worth and general emotional support.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes. CBT-style techniques can help with anxiety, panic and low mood by breaking problems into manageable steps. Solution-focused brief techniques are used to identify goals and practical next steps when someone wants faster, action-oriented work.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist and client review what helps and adjust methods as the work progresses. Donna will discuss options and agree a way forward that fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals and makes it easier to access support from different locations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options let people fit therapy around work, study and family life.
