Donnah Hewlett

Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She brings six years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, life changes and confidence struggles. Donnah also works with clients facing compulsive sexual behaviours and porn addiction, and with their partners.

Donnah aims to make the therapy room a place where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. She uses straightforward, warm conversation to help people make sense of their experience and to find manageable next steps. Her tone is encouraging and practical; she acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on each person’s needs and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are offered to ease stress and bring attention into the present moment.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change, and psychodynamic ideas can help uncover patterns rooted in earlier relationships. Donnah tailors these approaches to what a person wants to work on rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Donnah has experience with a wide range of life and relationship issues including intimacy concerns, parenting stress, bereavement, family of origin problems and anger. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Donnah’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person’s priorities at the centre of work. It means the counsellor listens closely and follows what feels most important to the individual, helping them name and work through immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple tools to try new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and manage stress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Donnah will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. She adjusts pace and focus over time so the plan fits changing needs rather than being fixed from the start.

The practical benefit of online work is that it can fit into busy schedules and everyday life. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals vary in how they run remote sessions, and Donnah will talk with each person about what will work best for them.
