About Donna Tibby
Donna Tibby is a qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor who provides solution-focused short-term work as well as longer-term therapy for adults aged 18 and above. She combines compassionate listening with practical interventions to help people navigate a wide range of issues, from relationship and grief concerns to stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, self-esteem and life changes. Donna draws on multiple therapeutic models to tailor a personalised approach for each person she works with, supporting deeper self-awareness and meaningful change.
Her practice is grounded in empathy and an emphasis on the individual rather than labels. Donna often helps people move beyond fixed identities such as I am an anxious person - by exploring underlying patterns, shifting unhelpful beliefs, and developing new ways of living that feel less constrained by those labels. She adheres to the ethical framework of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and holds a full Enhanced DBS check, a standard background check used in the United Kingdom. Donna offers therapy in several formats including face-to-face meetings, nationwide online counselling, and phone sessions, with an integrative style informed by several well-established therapeutic approaches.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with motivation.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections, and supports people in building safer, more secure ways of relating. This approach can be helpful for relationship concerns, abandonment issues, and attachment difficulties.
Donna treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. She works with clients and licensed professionals to identify which approach or combination of approaches best fits each person’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can be done via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage mobility or geographical limits, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. For many people, that flexibility supports steady progress and consistent access to therapeutic support.
