About Donna Hughes

Donna Hughes is a qualified counsellor who creates a warm, non-judgmental and supportive environment where people can safely explore whatever is on their mind. She approaches counselling as a collaborative process rather than a fixing exercise, helping clients reconnect with their strengths, make sense of their experiences, and identify new ways forward that fit their values and pace.

Her practice is rooted in a person-centred approach, placing the individual - their voice and priorities - at the heart of the work. She also integrates techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy when these methods best support a client’s goals. This flexible blend allows her to tailor sessions to the unique needs of each person.

People commonly seek her support for anxiety, low mood, loss, self-esteem difficulties, relationship challenges, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic disorder and panic attacks, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues. In session she offers a calm and personal space, meeting clients with empathy, respect, and understanding, and walking alongside them as they explore their own path to clarity and emotional balance.

Donna is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. If a collaborative, person-centred approach feels like a good fit, Donna is open to hearing from prospective clients.
