Donna Tibby , BACP

Donna Tibby is a qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who provides solution-focused short-term work as well as longer-term therapy for adults aged 18 and above. With three years of professional experience, she combines multiple therapeutic models to build a tailored, holistic framework that responds to each person’s unique situation and goals.

Her practice is grounded in compassion and empathy, and she supports people facing a wide range of challenges - from major life events that feel overwhelming to persistent low mood, anxiety, racing thoughts, relationship difficulties, grief, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Donna often helps clients question limiting beliefs and labels, such as describing themselves as simply “an anxious person,” and works collaboratively to develop new perspectives and greater self-awareness.

Drawing on an integrative approach, she blends techniques to promote practical change and deeper understanding. Therapy can be accessed face-to-face, nationwide online, or by phone so people can engage from the setting that suits them best. Donna adheres to the ethical framework of the BACP, the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists, and holds a full Enhanced DBS check.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on values-driven action. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress when the aim is to build a more meaningful and flexible life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. It is often helpful for relationship challenges, intimacy-related concerns, and patterns that stem from abandonment or attachment difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering nonjudgmental listening and support to foster self-understanding and personal growth. This approach suits those seeking a safe space to explore identity, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and will be decided collaboratively. Donna works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible, allowing people to engage from home, work, or elsewhere. These options support varied schedules and communication styles, helping clients maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
