I went to see Donna regarding our teenage daughter who we were having difficulty with. Donna was great with dealing with all my concerns and once we had discussed the issues she met with my daughter and myself.
The suggestions that we received and things that Donna had us put in place made an amazing difference in our life and relationships.
I would strongly recommend Donna to anyone looking for some counselling.

I found Donna at a point in my life when I had a culmination of factors all seeming to come to a head for me that I didn’t know to react to or move on from. I was feeling very lost and emotionally bankrupt at the time and she was instrumental in helping me find the strengths I had within myself, and how I could use these to overcome adversity and continue with positivity in life. Donna gave me exercises on grounding & calming myself, assisted me with sleep patterns and gave me a gratitude journal which I still use today. I would thoroughly recommend her, as her calm, gentle approach is exactly what you need when you are struggling to deal with the chaos life throws at you at times. More...

I used Donna recently as a counsellor for an anxiety condition that I found myself in. I found her approach very professional, very helpful and very caring which made a big difference to my state of mind. I could highly recommend her to anyone who needs caring counselling. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I have always been attracted to the helping professions, initially in my nursing career, and now in my counselling service as I love being able to assist clients to maximise their functioning, and achieve their desired outcomes. I am passionate about working collaboratively with clients who have relationship issues. I find it very rewarding knowing I have assisted clients with resolving their issues, and becoming successful in restoring the harmony back into their lives. Additionally, I enjoy knowing that clients I have assisted with tackling their anxiety, depression and any other stressors in their lives have been successful in overcoming their issues and achieving their desired goals. All in all, it gives me great joy knowing clients knowing clients have become empowered and are feeling more positive and happier in their lives after counselling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
In my nursing career, I was often called on to allay anxiety in patients, and I enjoyed being able to provide encouragement and reassurance to these patients in a medical setting, whereby they felt they could trust in the assistance provided, and thereby feel calmer and more relaxed as a result. My ability to have a calming effect patients, combined with my desire to help people in need inspired me to become a counsellor.
Why should our clients choose you?
I believe that my genuine desire to help clients with their issues, in conjunction with my warm, caring and friendly disposition enables client to maximise their chances of seeking resolution for their issues. However, should I be unable to fully assist them I always ensure that I refer them onto an appropriate professional who would cater specifically for their particular needs. Furthermore, I use an integrative and holistic approach whereby I tailor treatment to the individual needs of each client.
