About Donna
Donna Peters is a counsellor who focuses on depression, anxiety and stress. She offers calm, practical support to people feeling overwhelmed, low or stuck. Donna uses simple, straightforward language so clients can talk about what matters most to them.
Donna has four years' direct counselling experience and previous professional work in the NHS. She has completed more than 450 clinical hours working with people in face-to-face meetings, by phone and online.
Background and approach
She also volunteered for seven years at a bereavement charity, supporting adults and young people through loss. Her practice covers grief, anger, self-esteem and relationship endings such as divorce and separation. She also helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, guilt and shame, self-love and issues common to young adults.
Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress and build simple coping skills for day-to-day life. Donna combines a person-centred outlook with an integrative approach in session, pulling together practical techniques where they help. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural methods and solution-focused brief techniques when they fit a person's goals.
The focus is on clear steps and steady progress rather than jargon. People who choose Donna can expect supportive conversations, practical strategies and gentle encouragement to try new ways of managing difficult feelings. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers a range of formats to suit different needs.

Focus areas and approaches
What Donna works with
Everything Donna lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Solution-focused brief techniques concentrate on small, achievable changes and on what is already working. This approach suits people who want short-term, action-oriented sessions that build confidence quickly. Donna blends these methods with a person-centred stance so clients feel heard while trying practical strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will discuss options at the start and adapt methods to each person's goals, pace and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaboration and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls work well if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging is handy for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life.
