Donna is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited integrative therapist, with a degree from Greenwich University. Donna believes in the importance of the therapeutic alliance and therefore uses person-centred, psychotherapy and existential approaches to explore discrepancies and conflict within the self and within relationships. Donna has experience in working with those wanting to deepen their assertiveness, and use boundaries and self-awareness where there may have been experiences or messages that may have informed unhelpful patterns of relating. In addition to this, Donna works with acute mental health issues such as depression and anxiety caused by distressing life experiences.
