About Donna

Donna Rowley is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience supporting people through difficult times. She focuses on common but painful issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Donna aims to meet people with respect and sensitivity as they begin to talk about their concerns.

Her work is collaborative and tailored to the person in front of her. She listens for what matters most, and helps people set clear, realistic goals for therapy.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and conversational, with space to reflect and to try new ways of coping. Donna has particular experience helping people deal with attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and the emotional impact of chronic illness and caregiving. She also supports people facing relationship breakdown, substance and eating-related difficulties, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness.

Across sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match each person’s needs. The focus is on building coping skills, improving communication, and making small changes that add up. People typically find the pace is set by what they can manage in a given week.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and appointments are scheduled from there.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Donna lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Donna often uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people recognise unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then practise new ways of thinking and responding to stress or low mood. This can be useful for anxiety, depression and everyday stress.

Another approach focuses on processing painful events and trauma by carefully working through memories and reactions at a manageable pace. This method aims to reduce distressing symptoms and build more tolerance for difficult memories, which can help after abuse, loss or other traumatic experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from another location. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective exchanges or when writing helps to think things through. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and everyday life.
