About Donna
Donna Tibby is a BACP counsellor who works with adults aged 18 and above. She describes her practice as compassionate and practical, helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, grief or life changes. Donna uses clear, down-to-earth conversations to help clients understand what is happening and decide what to do next.
She offers short-term and longer-term work depending on the issue and the person. Sessions explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours so people can move away from unhelpful labels like "I am an anxious person" and try new ways of living.
Background and approach
Donna mixes different approaches to match each person's needs rather than applying a single method to everyone. Her focus includes stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, addiction concerns, trauma and bereavement. She also supports people facing parenting strain, career crossroads, chronic illness, caregiving burdens and challenges around intimacy and body image.
Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family and foster care experiences, and challenges linked to ADHD. Donna blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive work and emotionally focused techniques into a personalised plan. She works collaboratively and keeps the pace suited to each person.
Sessions can help build skills, shift patterns and increase day-to-day coping. She practises from the United Kingdom and runs sessions online or by phone. Her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and she holds a BACP credential.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-based thinking to understand how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. That approach can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and patterns that affect how people relate to others. Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the person seeking support. The therapist will discuss goals, trial different ideas and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual contact helps the work, phone sessions can fit around busy days or lower bandwidth, and messaging allows shorter check-ins or written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caring duties or other commitments while keeping the focus on collaborative progress.
