Donna Peters, BACP

Donna Peters is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of counselling experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Donna also supports clients facing divorce and separation, guilt and shame, panic attacks, social anxiety and young adult issues.

Donna spent over 20 years working in the NHS in other professional roles before moving into counselling. She has completed more than 450 clinical counselling hours and has provided support in person, by phone and online. She also volunteered for seven years at a bereavement charity, working with adults and young people on loss and grief.

Her approach is integrative and person-centred. Donna uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy when they suit the issue. In sessions she talks through practical steps and coping strategies alongside emotional processing.

People who come for help with anger often want ways to notice triggers, reduce snapping at others, and manage built-up resentment. Donna offers simple tools for recognising patterns of thinking and for trying different responses in everyday situations. She also supports work on confidence, panic symptoms and social worries.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Donna typically works collaboratively to set goals and to check progress. To begin she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
