Donnah Hewlett, BACP, NCPS

Donnah Hewlett is a UK-based therapist who brings six years of professional experience to her counselling practice. She is a registered member of the BACP and the NCPS, professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom, and works with a wide range of personal and relational concerns.

Her practice addresses stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues, grief and loss, coping with life changes, parenting and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She also focuses on areas such as abandonment, attachment challenges, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, divorce and separation, eating and food-related issues, and problems stemming from family of origin. More recently she has worked with compulsive sexual behaviours and pornography addiction, and she also supports partners affected by these issues.

Donnah aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. She supports clients through motivation and confidence building, maternal mental health concerns, adjustment to change, and self-esteem work. She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms each person for taking that important step toward support and change.

Therapeutic approaches for remote support

Donnah draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful and empathetic space where the person’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration and can be especially useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and adapting to life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is commonly used to address anxiety, low mood, stress, and to build coping strategies for addictive behaviours.

Mindfulness therapy is included as a complementary approach, teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can help with anxiety, compulsive habits, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donnah works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints. These options help clients maintain continuity of care and access support in formats that suit their lifestyle and comfort level.
