Donnah Hewlett, BACP, NCPS

Donnah Hewlett is a registered member of the BACP and the NCPS in the United Kingdom with 6 years of professional experience. The BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the NCPS is a national counselling and psychotherapy register, and these registrations reflect her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Donnah has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adjustment to life changes, and maternal mental health concerns. She also works with issues around motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and more recently has been supporting clients and partners affected by compulsive sexual behaviours and pornography-related addiction. Her practice includes work with intimacy-related concerns, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and a wide range of emotional and behavioural struggles.

In sessions she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Donnah recognises that beginning therapy can take courage and she acknowledges and supports clients for taking that first step toward change. Her approach is collaborative, focusing on the needs and goals each person brings to the process.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and care

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, accepting relationship where the client is treated as the expert on their own life. It helps people who need space to explore feelings, build self-esteem, and make decisions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and many day-to-day difficulties that respond well to structured tools and goal-setting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and techniques to manage overwhelming emotions and rumination, which can support coping with stress, anxiety and low mood.

Donnah Hewlett works collaboratively with clients to find the most suitable approach. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt methods over time so the work fits each person’s situation. Determining the right mix of techniques is part of the therapy process and unfolds together with the client.

Online therapy with Donnah offers flexibility - sessions by video call or phone provide face-to-face interaction, while live chat and text-based messaging can suit those who prefer shorter or more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and support ongoing access to registered professionals across different locations.
