About me.

Because feeling comfortable starts with knowing who you’re speaking to.

Charities I regularly volunteer with:

Logo for Samaritans, a charity that provides emotional support for those struggling to cope or at risk of suicide, on a green background with white text reading 'Samaritans'.

Getting to know me, my background, and how I work.

I worked in the Financial Services for 34 years before deciding on a career change to be an Anxiety Therapist.

In October 2019, I started A New Chapter Coaching and now I have the pleasure of listening to and helping clients every day.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, heard, and respected. That’s why I work hard to create a space built on trust, empathy, and total non-judgement.

My love for learning means I regularly keep my knowledge up to date. You can rest assured that I follow a code of ethics and I’m a member of governing bodies ensuring that my skills remain at the highest level possible.

Giving back is incredibly important to me, which is why I also regularly volunteer at Beatson Cancer Charity, Samaritans, and Megan’s Space.

My goal is simple: to make a genuine difference to the people I work with. If you’re ready to talk, I’m here. We will always go at your pace and work out a way forward together.

“Thank you so much to Donna for hosting workshops for our volunteers. The feedback from the team who attended was just wonderful and they really appreciated it! Thank you!”
