About Donna
Donna Rowley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience supporting people through difficult moments. She focuses on common but heavy problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Donna aims to make the first step feel manageable and personal.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens carefully to what matters to each person and adapts sessions to suit individual needs.
Background and approach
Sessions centre on practical conversation and building small, sustainable changes rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all solutions. Donna pays attention to background issues that often affect daily life, such as attachment worries, abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, and communication or commitment difficulties. She also addresses problems linked to physical health like chronic pain, illness and disability, plus eating and body-image concerns.
People may bring complex histories, including domestic violence, dissociation, divorce or separation, and drug or alcohol addiction. Donna helps clients talk through these topics at a pace that feels right for them and aims to reduce the overwhelm that often comes with big life events. Practical coping skills and clearer decision-making are common aims in sessions.
Donna works with each person to set realistic goals and to review progress as therapy continues. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to the individual’s circumstances and goals.

Online support
Another approach concentrates on working through past hurt and trauma at a pace the person can handle. It aims to help people make sense of difficult experiences, reduce their impact on current life, and improve emotional safety in relationships and daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed so the plan fits your situation. That way therapy becomes a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see and hear each other for deeper interaction. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
