About Donna Hendricks

Donna Hendricks is a UK-based therapist with 12 years of experience supporting adults across voluntary, private and NHS settings. She holds professional credentials with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and with NCPS. Her formal training includes a degree in Counselling with core person-centred training and a Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy, equipping her with both humanistic and evidence-based tools to work with a wide range of difficulties.

Donna approaches therapy from the assumption that people are the experts on their own experience. Rather than asking what is wrong with someone, she focuses on what has happened to them, aiming to create a respectful, curious space where clients feel heard and understood. Her background in person-centred practice emphasises empathy and attuned listening, while her CBT training adds practical, evidence-informed strategies for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, social anxiety, OCD and panic.

In sessions she aims to help clients gain clearer perspective, deeper insight and renewed hope. Donna works collaboratively, responding sensitively to each person s needs while supporting them to build coping skills and move toward the changes they want in their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Donna integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside her person-centred background to tailor online work to each person s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic and OCD. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so people feel understood and supported as they explore their experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donna works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to decide which methods fit best with each person s goals, preferences and circumstances, adapting strategies as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family or mobility constraints, and allow therapists to use the same clinical approaches effectively in a remote format.
