About Me
Learn a little more about who I am, my own journey and importantly what makes me ‘tick’ and why I am so passionate about helping other people through the medium of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy.
“Everything is Within Your Power, and Your Power is Within You”
Hello, my name is Donna, I am a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and Registered Member of BACP based in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
I have a passion for helping people to enjoy a happier, more fulfilling life via a person centred approach to therapy tailored to meet each individuals specific needs.
I became a counsellor after receiving counselling for my own childhood trauma and struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. Throughout my life, I faced many challenges, including domestic violence, and was always looking for an escape from my pain.
It wasn’t until I found inner peace through therapy and personal growth that I truly began to heal. This transformative experience ignited a deep passion within me to help others find the same peace and healing that I had discovered.
Realising that my lived experiences, while invaluable, could only take me so far, I decided to deepen my understanding and skills by working in rehabilitation centres for individuals affected by domestic violence and substance abuse.
I pursued formal education and training in counselling, knowing that each therapeutic skill I learned would better equip me to support those in need.
My journey from personal healing to professional counsellor is driven by a genuine desire to guide others towards their own path of healing and inner peace. I am committed to helping people overcome their struggles and find their inner strength to lead fulfilling lives.
I have a passion for creating a bespoke service for each of my clients based on my experience, knowledge and intuition.
I am passionate about helping others thrive and watching them grow through a combination of psychotherapy and the power of hypnotherapy. I enjoy all things relating to humanity and how the brain works, from neuroscience to healing energies.
I believe music is the food of our soul and for this reason I also offer clients music therapy as part of their treatment plan.
When I’m not working, I love to dance, cook and read inspirational books, but most of all, to spend time with my two adorable children, Sam and Tristan.
Being at peace with my inner soul is important to me, and I find no better place to achieve that then when I spend time at the beach and around water. I also love to travel and experience new places and people. My favourite season is autumn.
What My Clients Say
Jason Osborne
I shall be forever bewildered by the effectiveness of hypnotherapy. I had always remained sceptical until my very last session, then the “weight” that suddenly lifted was both physical and emotional and continues to benefit both myself and those around me three years on – thank you Donna.
