About Donnah

Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor and a Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has six years of professional experience in the UK and works with people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She also helps with addictions and intimacy-related concerns. Donnah speaks English and accepts international clients.

Her approach is straightforward and personal. She aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. Clients often come to talk about grief, maternal mental health, low self-esteem, motivation and adjustment after major events.

In sessions she listens and reflects, helping people spot unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits that get in the way. She also works with compulsive sexual behaviours and pornography-related addiction, and with partners affected by these issues. Her style balances practical steps with time to talk about emotions.

Donnah uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on client-centred work to create a warm, accepting atmosphere. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy supports clearer thinking and behaviour change. Mindfulness techniques can help with stress and grounding in daily life.

She understands that starting therapy takes courage and she aims to make the process manageable. People who prefer a calm, non-judgemental space and practical guidance may find her approach helpful.

How her approaches can work online and in everyday life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding and acceptance. The counsellor offers warm listening and reflection so people can talk openly about thoughts and feelings and feel heard. This approach often helps when someone needs support to make sense of their experience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, habits and feelings. It includes practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to manage stress and stay present in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Donnah will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how your work will be scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily routines, reduce travel time and support shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy when life events make in-person meetings harder. Ask about available formats to pick the option that fits your day-to-day life.
