About Donna
Donna Peters, BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom, has four years of counselling experience and a background of over 20 years working in the NHS. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem and depression, and also pays attention to issues such as divorce and separation, guilt and shame, panic attacks, self-love, social anxiety and young adult concerns.
Donna uses a person-centred approach alongside integrative practice. That means she works with a client's priorities and brings in practical techniques such as cognitive behavioural methods and solution-focused brief therapy when they seem helpful. Sessions can include talking things through, trying small experiments or practising short coping strategies between meetings.
She has completed more than 450 clinical hours with clients in face-to-face, phone and online settings. Donna also volunteered for seven years with a bereavement charity, supporting adults and young people through grief and loss. That experience informs how she works with loss and mourning.
In sessions she aims to be respectful and sensitive. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what each person needs. Practical tools are offered alongside open listening so people can work on emotional problems and everyday challenges.
People usually start by describing the main problems they want to change. From there Donna and the client agree simple goals and ways to measure progress. Work often includes strategies for managing anxiety and panic, steps to rebuild confidence, and methods to manage strong emotions like anger.
If you prefer to check formats before booking, confirm current session options when you reach the scheduling stage.

Therapeutic methods and how they work online
Donna uses a person-centred approach which focuses on listening and reflecting to help people identify their priorities and next steps. This approach is useful when someone wants to talk through feelings like grief or low mood and get clearer on personal goals.She also brings in cognitive behavioural techniques. These are practical methods that look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offer exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Solution-focused brief techniques are used for short-term goal setting. These focus on small, achievable changes and on tracking what works, which can suit people who want clear, time-limited steps forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Donna will discuss goals, personal preferences and daily life to agree which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process that may change as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the available session formats when you book as the biography lists face-to-face, phone and online work but does not specify current arrangements. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the specific formats offered before scheduling to match sessions to your routine.
