"Therapy with Donna has been a real game changer. It's helped me massively letting go of the past and feeling ready for whatever the future holds"
Does this feel familiar?
To the world, you are the capable one—the reliable anchor everyone relies on. You've become an expert at holding it all together, but inside, there is a quiet, heavy sense of being stuck or overwhelmed.
- The constant pressure: You feel exhausted from managing it all, yet rest feels like something you haven't yet earned.
- The hum of anxiety: A persistent tension remains just beneath the surface, even when everything seems fine.
- The disconnect: You feel distant from your own needs, your body, and the vibrance of the woman you used to be.
- The coping trap: You minimise your own struggles because they don't look 'severe' enough to others.
These aren't personal flaws; they are survival strategies that once protected you but now leave you feeling lost. You don't need to try harder—you need a space where your nervous system can finally soften.
Integrated therapy for mind and body
Because knowing why you feel this way isn't always enough to change it
My work is grounded in Person Centred therapy. I believe you are not broken your patterns make sense in the context of your story. I don't aim to fix you but to create the safe respectful conditions where you can naturally heal and grow.
How We Work Together
Beyond “just talking”
Alongside conversation, we gently include awareness of the nervous system and the body. Sometimes we cannot simply think our way out of anxiety or fear, because these experiences live in the body as well as the mind. Paying attention to what your system is holding can begin to bring relief and understanding.
The speed of safety
We work at a pace that feels manageable for your nervous system. Drawing on ideas such as the Window of Tolerance, we notice when your system moves into overwhelm or shutdown and support you to stay within a steadier place where meaningful change can unfold.
Listening to the parts that learned to cope
Many people develop protective patterns such as over-working, over-giving or people-pleasing. In therapy we approach these parts with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand their role while gently creating space for new ways of responding.
Reconnecting with your authentic self
Over time, many women begin to experience greater clarity about their needs, boundaries and direction in life. The aim is not only to ease distress, but to help you feel more at home within yourself.
Therapy that restores inner safety
I believe therapy isn't just for crisis; it's for meaningful growth. My work integrates traditional therapeutic conversation with nervous syem awarenesss
The difference
A safe space to untangle what feels stuck. In person (Warrington) or online.
This isn't surface level coping we don't just talk about the past we listen to what your body is holding today. By building physiological safety we allow real, lasting change to happen at a pace that suits your nervous system
About Donna
"For a long time, I was an expert at appearing steady while feeling overwhelmed inside. My journey into trauma-informed therapy began when I realised that 'resilience' shouldn't feel like constant exhaustion.
As a counsellor and yoga teacher, I don't just listen to your story; I help you listen to your body. Together, we work to restore your inner safety and build a life that truly fits you—not one you simply function in."
