Donna Tibby , BACP

Donna Tibby is a counsellor who supports adults through stressful life moments and ongoing emotional struggles. She holds BACP accreditation, and has practised for three years with a focus on helping people find clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. Donna offers sessions in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at understanding what is happening for the person now. She helps people who feel stuck by looking at thoughts, behaviours and relationships that keep problems in place, and by building small, practical steps to change.

Donna uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. She draws on cognitive techniques to address unhelpful thinking and emotional work to repair connections and attachment patterns. Acceptance and values-based ideas are used when clients want help living with difficult feelings rather than fighting them.

Typical concerns she supports include stress and anxiety, low mood and self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictive behaviours, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting and family challenges, and coping with life changes. She also works with people affected by trauma, chronic health issues and caregiver strain.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting led by them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and living through tough changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now in adult connections; it aims to build safer ways of relating and can help with intimacy and relationship struggles. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions and prioritises empathic listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and use techniques from different models to suit those aims. That collaborative process means therapy is adjusted as things change, rather than sticking to a single method from the start.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat suits people who prefer typing in the moment, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make sessions more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or health limitations while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
