Solenne Donnelly

Solenne Donnelly is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses an integrative, attachment-informed approach. She combines practical skills with compassionate listening to help people facing anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. Solenne works in English and French and brings five years of clinical experience to sessions.

Clients often come with questions about identity, boundaries and direction in life. Solenne helps people untangle patterns that keep repeating, and she supports them to develop clearer choices and steadier emotional regulation. Many people seek her help for eating and body-image issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress and work-related burnout.

Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. In sessions she combines talking, practical exercises and mindfulness strategies to make change feel manageable. She also uses techniques that link emotions, thoughts and nervous system responses to give a fuller picture of experience.

Solenne frames therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and try out new ways of coping. Her focus is on helping people gain clarity, build self-trust and carry practical skills into everyday life.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action; online work can use simple exercises to clarify what matters and practise small changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and present relationships shape feelings and expectations; this approach helps people understand patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and provides step-by-step techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose methods that suit the person. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions feel useful and realistic for everyday life.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use written exercises, screen-sharing tools and home-based practice tasks that support the approaches described above. Appropriately qualified therapists aim to adapt techniques so they work well across different settings.
