About Donna Tibby
Donna Tibby is an integrative therapeutic counsellor who offers both solution-focused short-term work and longer-term therapy for adults aged 18 and above. With three years of professional experience, she approaches therapy with compassion and empathy, treating each person as an individual rather than a label. Donna supports people facing large, painful life events as well as those who struggle to explain persistent low mood, anxiety, or racing thoughts and who seek deeper self-awareness.
She encourages clients to move beyond self-defining labels - for example, the belief "I am an anxious person" - and to explore how those beliefs shape daily life. Her practice blends multiple theoretical modalities into a personalised framework designed to promote change and greater understanding of oneself. Donna offers sessions in several formats, including face-to-face nationwide online counselling and by phone, enabling people to work from the comfort of their own homes.
Donna adheres to the ethical framework of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and holds a full Enhanced DBS check, which is a detailed criminal-records check used in the United Kingdom. Her approach aims to help adults develop insight, cope with difficult experiences, and make practical changes that fit their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Donna uses evidence-informed approaches to help people make practical changes and build greater self-understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without being ruled by them, and on clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, supporting work on intimacy, relationship difficulties, and patterns rooted in attachment experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering structured strategies for managing symptoms like low mood, worry, or disrupted sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donna works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods best fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the mix of approaches over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Donna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, and they allow therapy to continue in ways that suit the client’s day-to-day life.
