About Donnah
Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and the NCPS. Donnah helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, and she supports those coping with grief, life changes and maternal mental health concerns.
She also works with people facing addictive behaviours, including compulsive sexual behaviour and pornography addiction, and with partners affected by those issues.
Background and approach
Her practice includes support for relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, as well as a wide range of family and personal concerns. Donnah aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person.
She encourages small, practical steps and clearer ways to manage difficult moments. Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. Donnah adapts these to what each person needs rather than following one fixed method.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. The format can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a supportive, listening approach. The therapist encourages people to lead the conversation while offering empathy and understanding, which helps when someone is feeling overwhelmed or unsure about next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple tools to change unhelpful patterns, which many people find useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Donnah views finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then mix methods that suit their situation. The aim is to work together to decide what helps and to adjust the plan as things change.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send messages between sessions or use shorter, more frequent contact. These formats give flexibility and make it straightforward to keep therapy going while juggling work, family or other commitments.
