About Donnah
Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains and life changes. Anger and relationship issues are also listed among her areas of focus.
Her practice includes support for addiction-related concerns, including compulsive sexual behaviours and pornography-related problems, and for partners affected by those issues. She also helps with intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem and motivation. Donnah lists work with LGBT clients and a broad range of family and relationship matters among her interests.
In sessions she uses straightforward, conversational methods. She invites clients to describe their current difficulties and priorities. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with people to try different ways of responding to those patterns.
Her clinical toolkit draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices, with elements from motivational interviewing and psychodynamic thinking. That mix is used to help people understand unhelpful habits, try coping strategies and notice what shifts when they do things differently.
People choosing to work with her will fill out a short questionnaire to match with sessions and then schedule a first appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Approaches used online and what they involve
Client-centred work focuses on the client’s own goals and experiences, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify what matters most. It helps when someone wants to talk through feelings such as anger, shame or confusion and to make sense of how they respond in close relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and goal-focused, useful for tackling persistent anger, anxiety or unhelpful habits by testing small changes and noticing different results.
Mindfulness-based methods teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of bodily signals and urges. These skills often help people pause before they act on strong emotions and try a different response.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process is used to shape the kind of tasks or practices to bring into sessions.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats and scheduling options before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time so people can keep work or caring commitments while getting support.
