Donnah Hewlett, BACP, NCPS

Donnah Hewlett brings six years of professional experience in counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Donnah helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes, and she also works with those dealing with addictions, maternal mental health and self-esteem concerns.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She aims to build an open space where clients can speak without fear of judgement. Early work focuses on what matters most now and on small, practical steps that can make a difference.

Donnah draws on a few different ways of working to suit individual needs. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, helps break unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping strategies. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention back to the present when anxiety or stress feels overwhelming.

She also integrates Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation is low, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with goals set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Donnah works with a wide range of concerns, including intimacy-related difficulties, relationship and family problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness-related issues and ageing and geriatric issues. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To get started, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. Online work using this approach gives space for clients to set the agenda and feel heard, whether they want to focus on stress, relationship worries or self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. In an online setting CBT can include short exercises between sessions and clear steps to try during the week to reduce anxiety or break patterns linked to addiction.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings. These techniques can be practised in short bursts and fit around daily routines, which many people find helpful when life feels busy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donnah will discuss options and together with the client decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. That plan is revisited and adjusted as the relationship develops.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel, making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and allowing brief check-ins when full sessions are not possible. Registered or accredited professionals often use these flexible arrangements to support steady progress.
