Donna Hughes , BACP

Donna Hughes is a qualified counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgmental space for people to explore whatever is on their mind. She frames counselling as a collaborative process rather than an attempt to fix someone, and she supports clients in reconnecting with their strengths, making sense of their experiences, and discovering new ways forward.

Her work is rooted in a person-centred approach that places the client - their values, voice, and pace - at the centre of therapy. She also draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques, using elements from each to meet the needs of the individual. Donna holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists.

People commonly seek her help for anxiety, low mood, bereavement or loss, self-esteem difficulties, and relationship challenges. Whether someone is dealing with a particular life event or feeling generally stuck or overwhelmed, she works with them to untangle what is happening and to move toward greater clarity and emotional balance.

Donna offers a calm, empathetic presence and aims to walk alongside clients as they explore change at their own pace. If someone feels they might be a good fit with her style, she welcomes hearing from them to discuss next steps.
