Donna Rowley, BACP

Donna Rowley is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience helping people navigate difficult moments. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, abuse, grief and depression. Donna aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk about what matters to them.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She works with each person to shape a plan that reflects their goals and circumstances. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, alongside exploring emotions and past experiences when that feels useful.

Donna has a background across a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. She also helps with body image, chronic pain, commitment and control issues, dissociation, and relationship separation matters.

Addiction-related support includes drug and alcohol problems and eating or food-related issues. She also offers guidance around loss, emptiness and the impact of domestic violence.

Sessions are structured to fit the individual. People who work with Donna can expect steady goal setting, opportunities to practise new coping strategies, and time to make sense of difficult memories. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

Approaches that guide online support

Donna describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One approach she emphasises is structured problem solving, which breaks down overwhelming issues into small, manageable steps and helps with stress, anxiety and day-to-day coping. Another common element is emotion-focused talking, which helps people name and sit with difficult feelings so those feelings feel less intense and more understandable.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Donna will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that suit them. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Online options can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options.
