Donna Tibby is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience working with adults aged 18 and over. Donna aims to make therapy straightforward and supportive for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term therapy depending on what someone needs. Sessions are practical and grounded, with an emphasis on understanding what is happening now and making small, manageable changes.

Background and approach

Donna helps people move away from limiting labels and encourages a clearer sense of self. Her practice combines several approaches to build a personalised plan for each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas, among others.

The result is a flexible mix that matches the client’s goals and situation. Donna commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship challenges. She also helps with issues such as addiction, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, career changes, compassion fatigue and life transitions.

Additional focuses include attachment, abandonment, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions are available via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The therapist follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and holds an Enhanced DBS check.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapy approaches and what online sessions can offer

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical steps to change how they respond, which can ease symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions in close relationships. It can help with intimacy difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues by building awareness and new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. This means approaches can be adapted over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
