Donna Rowley, BACP

Donna Rowley is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 15 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Her manner is calm and respectful, and she aims to listen closely before suggesting ways forward.

Donna shapes sessions around each person’s needs and goals. She works collaboratively to agree practical steps that feel manageable. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can ease day-to-day strain.

Her background includes long experience supporting people through loss and recovery from substance issues. She also helps with relationship worries such as communication and commitment concerns, and with attachment and abandonment difficulties that affect how people connect with others.

Donna supports people coping with chronic pain, long-term health conditions, and the stresses carers often face. She can talk through body image and eating-related concerns, dissociation, and the emotional fallout of separation and domestic violence.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Donna encourages honest, paced conversations and checks in about what is useful as therapy progresses. She works in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

Approaches and how online work can help

Donna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach focuses on talking through patterns of thought and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps people spot unhelpful reactions and try small, practical changes. Another common strand addresses trauma and coping, offering ways to manage strong emotions, day-to-day triggers and the impact of past hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will explore your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. She aims to decide together what feels most helpful and to adjust plans as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as these are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins at short notice. It can also offer options that suit quieter surroundings or times when being on camera is not ideal. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you through practical setup and what to expect so sessions feel useful and manageable.
