About Donna
Donna Rowley is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression and helps people facing these concerns.
She works in a collaborative way and builds a plan with each person based on their goals. Conversations are direct and practical, concentrating on what causes distress and what can be changed. She emphasizes listening and clear steps rather than jargon or long theory explanations.
Diverse problems come into her work. Donna supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment and adoption or foster care issues. She also helps with relationship communication problems, commitment and control issues, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation.
Her practice includes work with bodily and behavioural concerns too. That covers body image, eating and food-related issues, drug and alcohol addiction, chronic pain, illness and disability, and caregiver stress. She notices how physical and emotional difficulties affect daily life and decision-making.
People also come for complex trauma-related symptoms such as dissociation, domestic violence histories, and feelings of emptiness. Donna aims to map out what is happening, name the patterns, and agree clear next steps. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.

How evidence-based approaches guide remote work
Donna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking and build alternative ways of responding; these methods are often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Trauma-informed work focuses on safety and stabilisation first, then helping people process distressing memories and manage symptoms like dissociation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods with each client and decide together which fits the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That shared planning may change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, childcare or medical appointments, and they can allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person meeting is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote work to maintain continuity of care and keep therapeutic momentum when meeting in person is not practical.
