About Donna
Donna Hendricks is a counsellor with 12 years' experience supporting adults through difficult times. She holds a degree in Counselling and a Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
Donna aims to listen first and ask questions that help people say what matters to them. Her practice blends person-centred care with practical, evidence-based techniques.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people coping with trauma, grief, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Donna uses clear, step-by-step tools alongside space to reflect.
Donna believes clients are the experts in their own lives. She works collaboratively to make sense of what has happened and what that means now. Her style is warm, curious and respectful, with room for both practical strategies and emotional exploration.
Across voluntary, personal and NHS settings she has supported people through complex situations. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She pays attention to communication patterns, control issues, dissociation and attachment-related concerns when they arise.
Sessions cover a wide range of difficulties including bipolar, ADHD, eating concerns, caregiver stress and anger. Donna also helps with issues such as abandonment, body image, blended family dynamics and guilt and shame. She offers help in English to people based in the United Kingdom.

Online support
She also uses a client-centred stance, offering empathetic listening and a non-judgemental space to talk. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Together the therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques and adjust the plan as needed, so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations, while phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
