About Donna
Donna Peters is a counsellor with a focus on stress, anxiety and panic concerns. She helps people who are struggling with low mood, anger, grief and self-esteem. Donna aims to make first steps feel manageable and calm, and encourages clients to notice small changes as they go.
Donna has four years of counselling experience alongside over 20 years of professional work in the NHS. She has completed more than 450 clinical hours working with clients in different settings, and spent seven years volunteering at a bereavement charity where she supported adults and young people through loss.
Her practice draws on person-centred values and an integrative approach. That means conversations are shaped around the person in front of her, with techniques selected to match each situation. Donna uses practical tools such as cognitive-behavioural ideas and solution-focused methods where these are helpful.
In sessions she keeps things straightforward and respectful. Clients can expect a calm tone, active listening and collaborative goal-setting. The work often includes talking through what happens during panic or anxiety, spotting patterns, and practising simple strategies to manage symptoms.
Donna works in English and provides care within the United Kingdom. She describes therapy as a step-by-step process and invites people to take the pace that feels right for them.
How approaches translate to online care
Donna uses person-centred conversation and integrative techniques to shape sessions around each person's needs. Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding, helping people feel heard and safe to talk about panic, grief or low mood. Integrative practice means she may draw on cognitive-behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused strategies to set small, practical goals.These approaches are described and tried together with the client. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will check what feels useful, adjust methods over time, and agree short-term targets alongside longer-term aims.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep progress consistent. It can help people attend from different locations without travel, allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage.
