About Donnah

Donnah Hewlett is a Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom with six years of professional practice. She works with adults on everyday mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and the practical strains that come with life changes.

Her sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and what people want to change. Donnah uses straightforward, conversational techniques so people can set small goals and test new ways of coping. She listens for patterns from earlier relationships and helps link those to current struggles when that feels useful.

People who contact her often want clear strategies as well as space to think through painful topics. She includes cognitive behavioural tools for managing unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness practices to steady attention. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she explores motivation and past influences.

Donnah has developed recent experience supporting people with compulsive sexual behaviour and porn-related addiction, and with the partners of those individuals. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and can help people adjust to new household roles and co-parenting dynamics.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Donnah asks about what has already been tried and helps set realistic next steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify feelings and priorities by using their own words and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical tools to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing an approach is usually collaborative. Donnah will talk with a client about goals and try different methods to see what helps most. She adjusts plans based on results and on what a person prefers, so therapy is shaped together rather than fixed from the start.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work breaks or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins on busier weeks and reduce time spent on commuting. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting people; discuss practical arrangements and session length when setting up the first appointment.
