About Donna
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. Donna Hay helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also supports people navigating sexual concerns, addictions, and LGBT issues.
Donna works with individuals who want clear, practical ways to manage symptoms and improve relationships with themselves and others. She addresses process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling, as well as sex addiction and sexual dysfunction. She also talks with people about kink, BDSM and alternative sex cultures when that is relevant to their goals.
Sessions focus on straightforward conversation and agreed steps between therapist and client. Donna aims to listen carefully, reflect what she hears, and suggest approaches that can be tried between meetings. She adapts the pace to each person and reviews progress regularly.
Her approach is evidence-informed and rooted in techniques that target thoughts, behaviours and emotional responses. That means practical strategies for coping with anxiety, routines to reduce depressive symptoms, and discussion of relationship or intimacy patterns when needed.
People who choose Donna are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Evidence-informed approaches focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. These techniques involve identifying thought patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood, and testing new behaviours in daily life to reduce symptoms. They are often used for stress, anxiety and depression. Approaches that address sexual concerns and addictions combine direct conversation about behaviours with planning and practical steps. That can include mapping triggers, setting achievable behavioural goals, and discussing relationship or intimacy dynamics when relevant. These methods aim to make change manageable and measurable. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try techniques that fit your needs, and adjust methods over time based on what helps. You and the therapist decide together which strategies to continue. Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow conversations about sexual health, kink or addiction to happen from wherever you are, while keeping practical considerations like session length and camera use flexible to suit your routine.Sheet 3
