About Donna
Donna Hendricks is a therapist who blends person-centred care with practical, evidence-based methods. She holds a degree in Counselling and a Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy, and has 12 years of experience in voluntary, personal and NHS settings.
Donna works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, and aims to create a calm space to talk and make sense of difficult feelings. Her starting point is simple: clients are the experts on their own lives.
Background and approach
She listens first, then gently helps people identify what matters to them and what gets in the way. Sessions focus on real problems and small, manageable steps rather than labels or blame. Donna uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more useful responses.
She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people live by their values even when emotions are strong. Where intensity or emotion regulation is an issue, she can include skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Many people she sees are dealing with loss, relationship strain, changes at work, parenting stress, or identity and body image concerns.
She also supports those facing trauma, eating difficulties, anger, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and complex feelings like guilt or shame. Sessions aim to reduce distress and build coping skills. Donna works in English and practices across a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
She follows the registration standards of BACP and NCPS and is based in the United Kingdom.

Online support
The right approach often emerges through conversation. Donna will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s goals, preferences and current situation. That might mean starting with skills to manage strong feelings, then moving to values-based work or practical problem-solving. The plan changes as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and learning practical skills. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
