Donna Williams
Experience & Approach
Donna is an Emotional Therapeutic Counsellor who has worked in private practice as an holistic therapist for over 10 years and as a counsellor since April 2020. She is empathetic and listens without judgement, creating a safe, calm, accepting and respectful environment where clients feel heard, supported and so able to share their feelings.
She works with individuals, talking and using creative therapeutic techniques to gently understand the causes of their emotional turmoil, work through issues, and ultimately help them to restore their balance of mind, body and spirit by releasing negative feelings and emotional blocks.
Donna’s aim is to empower people to recognise and understand their feelings, what their triggers are, what patterns they’re following, so that they then have the power to choose how they want to react now and in the future. Recognising that we always have a choice is immensely liberating and gives us back control of our own lives. Therapy is always unique to you, goes at your pace and lasts as long as you need it. She’s helped people recognise and release feelings ranging from stress, anxiety, grief, loss, anger, family conflict, infertility, infidelity, abuse.
Emotional Therapeutic Counselling (ETC) in an integrative person-centred talking and creative therapy that takes an holistic approach, recognising that many of the difficulties people experience centre around feelings-our feelings affect our behaviour, how we respond and react to situations. By understanding where our emotional wounds originate, we can work through our feelings and move on more positively in our lives. Having been through the process of Emotional Therapeutic Counselling herself, Donna knows how helpful it can be in positively changing the way we see ourselves, others and the work around us.
