Donna Hay , BACP

Donna Hay is a United Kingdom-based therapist who brings three years of professional experience to her practice. She is affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and works with adults facing a range of emotional and relational challenges.

Her practice focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, and managing symptoms of depression. She also supports clients confronting intimacy-related concerns and LGBTQ+ issues, and has experience working with process addictions such as porn addiction. Donna approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating an environment where difficult topics can be explored openly and without judgement.

Therapy with Donna is tailored to the unique needs of each client - conversations and treatment plans are adapted to fit individual circumstances and goals. She acknowledges that taking the first step toward therapy requires courage and affirms the importance of that decision for anyone seeking support.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Donna Hay uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to the needs of each client. One common approach focuses on patterns of thought and behavior - it helps people identify unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and develop practical skills for managing stress and anxiety. Another strand of her work addresses relational and intimacy concerns - this involves exploring communication, boundaries, and sexual wellbeing to improve connection and comfort in relationships. For clients facing process or sex addictions, Donna applies structured methods that look at triggers, coping strategies, and gradual changes to reduce compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Donna works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She tailors plans together with each person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide focused, consistent care that works around a client’s schedule and needs.
