About Donna
Donna Tibby is a BACP counsellor who offers practical, person-focused therapy for adults. She meets people where they are and helps them make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are aimed at short-term problem solving or longer work if that is needed.
Donna works with common concerns such as stress and anxiety, low mood and grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, parenting strain, career changes and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
The focus is on what is happening for each person now, not on a label. Her style is warm and straightforward. She uses a mix of approaches and tailors them to each person’s needs.
Conversations explore thoughts, patterns and practical steps to change how day-to-day life feels. Donna draws on approaches like cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-informed thinking and emotionally focused methods. These are blended into a personalised plan that aims to build clearer thinking, stronger relationships and more useful coping skills.
Sessions are provided across the United Kingdom by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and holds an Enhanced DBS check.
Approach-led online counselling that fits your life
Donna commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and tests small changes to reduce distress. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and learning ways to act in line with those values even when difficult feelings are present.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to see how early relationships affect current patterns, and emotionally focused methods to work on hurt and connection in relationships. Deciding on an approach is collaborative - the therapist and client try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day and to continue working when life is unpredictable.
