About Donnah
Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has six years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions. Donnah also works with concerns around self-esteem, motivation and maternal mental health.
In recent practice she has been seeing people affected by compulsive sexual behaviours and pornography use, and she also supports their partners.
Background and approach
She creates an open, non-judgemental space so clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person, with room to explore what matters most right now. Donnah listens for the practical problems under the distress and helps people find steps forward that feel achievable.
Her approach draws on a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. She also uses motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change and psychodynamic thinking to look at repeated patterns. These tools are chosen to suit the person, not applied as a fixed formula.
Donnah aims for short, clear goals alongside deeper work when that is helpful. Practical coping strategies and everyday exercises are offered between sessions. The overall focus is on building skills that reduce worry and improve daily functioning.
Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Donnah works with individuals across a range of relationship and life concerns, and she accepts international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want from therapy, which can reduce anxiety and improve confidence.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers simple exercises and tools to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits for coping with stress and anxiety.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention skills to reduce rumination and increase calm in daily life. Short exercises can be used between sessions to manage worry and return to the present moment.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the person and therapist agree which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what feels useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a full, face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a less visual check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
