Donna Hendricks, BACP, NCPS

Donna Hendricks is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical experience. She has worked with adults in voluntary, private and NHS settings. Donna’s work focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, depression, ADHD and relationship and family concerns including blended family issues.

Donna trained in counselling with a core person-centred approach and later completed a Master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy. She uses those foundations alongside other practical methods to address everyday problems such as panic, social anxiety, OCD and coping with life changes.

Sessions begin from the stance that the client is the expert on their own life. Donna listens and asks respectful, curious questions to understand each person’s world. Conversations aim to clarify what has happened to someone rather than label what is wrong with them.

Her work often involves breaking problems down into smaller parts. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural work and skills-based approaches are combined with a client-centred focus on how clients experience things. This helps people spot patterns, try different responses and manage distress in day-to-day life.

People contact Donna about relationship strain, parenting pressures, loss and the stresses around changing family arrangements. She also supports those dealing with anger, body image, caregiver stress and complex grief.
