About Donatella
Donatella brings particular experience advising staff on the emotional health of children in residential settings, and she works across a range of presenting concerns including relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Her additional focus includes attachment and blended family issues, communication and workplace difficulties, multicultural concerns, and supporting young adults in transition.
She is an accredited member of BACP, which indicates professional recognition within the UK counselling community, and she is also a member as a family practitioner with AFT. Donatella offers a collaborative, evidence-informed approach to support individuals, couples, and families toward clearer communication, stronger connections, and practical ways forward.
Systemic and Trauma-Informed Support Delivered Online
Donatella draws on systemic family practice to explore how relationships, roles, and communication patterns affect individual wellbeing. This approach looks at family and couple interactions to identify unhelpful cycles and develop healthier ways of relating, which can help with blended family issues, parenting challenges, and communication problems.
She also uses trauma-aware counselling techniques within a psychotherapeutic framework to address the effects of abuse, loss, and emotional distress. These methods focus on understanding responses to past events and building coping strategies for depression, anxiety, and attachment-related difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donatella works collaboratively with each person or family to identify which evidence-informed techniques best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adapt methods as those needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and shorter check-ins can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, support ongoing communication between sessions, and increase access for people who live at a distance or have busy schedules.
