Donnah Hewlett

Donnah Hewlett is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has six years of practice in the UK and offers steady support for people facing distressing life moments. Her work often covers stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns including intimacy and family issues.

Donnah helps people dealing with addiction-related behaviours, including compulsive sexual behaviour and problematic porn use, and she also supports partners affected by these challenges. She works with grief, adjustment to life change, maternal mental health, motivation and low self-esteem. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making conversations easier to have.

In sessions she creates an open atmosphere that encourages honest talk without judgement. She uses listening and reflection to help clients spot patterns and make different choices. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness may be used to manage symptoms day to day.

She also draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences shape current feelings. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change habits but feel unsure where to start. Donnah aims to work at each person’s pace and adapt methods to what feels most useful.

People can expect straightforward language, practical steps and time to reflect. The goal is to leave sessions with clearer small actions and a better sense of direction. Donnah welcomes clients from the UK and internationally and offers sessions in English.

Approaches that suit online counselling and change work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and work out their own solutions to relationship and self-worth problems.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with addictive behaviours.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce rumination and manage stress day to day. These techniques can support people dealing with grief, chronic worry and urges related to problematic behaviours.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods together in a collaborative way until a good fit is found.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, and they allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic work depending on what you need. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
