EMPOWERING COUNSELLING
THERAPY
Your Counsellor
My name is Donna, and I've always known my life purpose is to assist others.
​
This is evident from the various roles I've had in business, marketing and customer service, along with nineteen years working as a Secondary Education Teacher. During this time, I have had my eyes opened to the many mental, physical, social and emotional concerns the youth of today have and continue to experience. I have experience working across diverse cultures and with the LGBTQI+ community.
My mission is to assist you on a deeper level to be empowered, find hope, and strengthen your belief in self to improve wellbeing. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as Person-centred, Solution Focused, Strength-based, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-focused Therapy, amongst others. The knowledge, skills and understanding I have obtained over the years will enable me to best meet your needs.
