Welcome! My name is Donna. I am a person centred therapist who is passionate about helping others, particularly those suffering from Trauma. My training comes from world leaders in the field and is ongoing. I have extensive experience working with youth and across diverse cultures. Also, with the LGBTQI+ community. My mission is to assist you on a deeper level to be empowered, find hope, and strengthen your belief in self to improve wellbeing.
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as Person-centred, Solution Focused, Strength-based, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-focused Therapy, amongst others. The knowledge, skills and understanding I have obtained over the years will enable me to best meet your needs.
People seek counselling for many reasons, it's not just when they may be experiencing mental health concerns. If you decide to seek my counsel, my role will be to assist you with strategies to become empowered to help yourself. On this journey I can help you with setting personal goals, exploring what works best for you, and reinforcing your success.
