Donna Peters, BACP

Donna Peters is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines person-centred care with practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings over four years of direct counselling experience and more than 450 clinical hours supporting clients face-to-face, by phone, and online. Prior to specialising in counselling, Donna spent over 20 years working professionally within the NHS, and she volunteered for seven years at a bereavement charity supporting adults and young people through loss, which shaped her understanding of grief and bereavement support.

Donna is trained in person-centred therapy, which emphasises empathy and the therapeutic relationship, and she is qualified as an integrative counsellor who draws on techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and solution-focused brief therapy when appropriate. She works with a wide range of concerns including panic attacks, social anxiety, relationship separation, guilt and shame, self-love, and the challenges faced by young adults.

She holds membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Donna encourages anyone taking the step to begin therapy to acknowledge that act of courage and offers supportive, collaborative care aimed at meeting individual needs and goals.
