About Donna
Donna Tibby is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She offers short-term and longer-term work for adults aged 18 and over. Donna helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, or overwhelming life events.
She listens for what feels most important to each person. Sessions focus on naming feelings, understanding patterns, and trying small changes that make daily life easier. Donna uses practical conversation and gentle challenges rather than lengthy academic language.
Her practice draws on several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas. That mix is used to help people explore difficult emotions, unhelpful thoughts and relationship patterns. The aim is clearer self-understanding and more workable ways of coping.
Donna also works with concerns such as grief, addictions, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stresses, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas listed include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and carer stress.
Sessions are offered in English and follow the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical framework. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how people experience and respond to strong feelings in relationships and personal patterns. In short online conversations this can help identify stuck emotional moments and try different ways of naming and responding to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and on choosing actions that reflect personal values; it is often useful for anxiety, avoidance and coping with change.The therapist treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss what feels most relevant for the person's goals, try methods in session and adjust the way work proceeds based on feedback and progress.
The biography does not specify exact session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try talking from a quieter place or choose audio-only if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises used in EFT and ACT for remote sessions so the same practical work can continue even when meeting online.
