About Donna
Donna Tibby is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years' experience. She offers integrative therapy for adults aged 18 and over and aims to help people understand what is happening for them right now. Donna speaks plainly and listens with empathy to each person's story.
Her work often begins with a short-term, solution-focused plan or a longer course of therapy depending on what someone needs. Sessions look at mood, anxiety, racing thoughts, grief, relationship difficulties and other issues that make life feel harder.
Background and approach
She encourages people to move away from fixed labels and notice small shifts in how they think and feel. Donna blends several approaches to build a personalised framework. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in relationships, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and actions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns.
Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas shape how she works, keeping the person central. Her style is compassionate and direct. She helps people name patterns, try practical steps between sessions, and reflect on what matters to them.
That practical focus aims to make therapy relevant to everyday life. Therapy is offered across the United Kingdom by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Donna follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and holds an Enhanced DBS check.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and what they do
Donna commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her online practice. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core feelings and how those feelings affect important relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current behaviour and emotional responses.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit better over time. Sessions are collaborative and can mix elements from different approaches to suit what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility needs while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps and emotional understanding.
