About Donnah
Donnah Hewlett is a Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom. She has six years of professional experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes, and with concerns such as addiction and intimacy-related issues.
Donnah helps people talk through grief, maternal mental health, low self-esteem and confidence. More recently she has worked with compulsive sexual behaviours and pornography-related addiction, and with partners affected by those behaviours. She also lists work with relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger and LGBT matters.
Her practice is client-centred in tone, with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes that people can test between meetings. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when clients want clearer direction for change.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences and attachment issues can shape current feelings and choices. That can help when shame or guilt feels stuck in the present and keeps repeating itself.
Donnah accepts clients in English and works with people across the UK and internationally. Costs vary with location and sessions are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says, helping them feel understood and clearer about their own choices; it suits people who want space to talk and make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and behaviour patterns linked to guilt or shame.Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. Donnah will discuss options and try methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time so sessions can shift between gentle reflection and practical skill-building as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when that better suits someone’s day, and it means therapy can be accessed from outside the immediate local area where the person lives.
