Donna Lemaitre, BACP

Donna Lemaitre is an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), offering therapy in a private practice setting. She holds a certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling and is undertaking further advanced training in Psychotherapeutic and Integrative Counselling to broaden her clinical skills and perspectives.

Donna has continued professional development in areas such as trauma, abuse, anxiety, bereavement, depression, self-acceptance, low self-esteem and building confidence. Her practice is grounded in a person-centred approach that recognises the client as the expert in their own life, while also drawing on psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs.

She has direct experience supporting people through a wide range of difficulties from her time as a volunteer counsellor with a mental health charity, and she spent three years offering bereavement support at a hospice. These roles deepened her understanding of grief, including losses and transitions that are not related to death.

Having been a therapy client herself, Donna understands both the rewards and the challenges of the therapeutic process and aims to help clients develop insight, resilience and a clearer sense of direction. Prospective clients are invited to make contact to discuss what is bringing them to therapy and to decide whether working together feels like the right fit.
