Fully Qualified, Accredited Counsellor
Hi, Im Donna, and I am a fully qualified, NCPS registered Counsellor. At Donna Pearce Counselling Services, I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming and chaotic. This is not just a profession for me; it's a calling fuelled by my own personal experiences and a deep passion for mental health. With a wealth of experience both personally and professionally, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys.
Supporting children, teens and adults with busy minds, big emotions and self-doubt.
You might feel like:
You (or your child) overthink everything
Small things can feel overwhelming very quickly
There’s a constant worry about getting things wrong
Emotions feel intense and hard to manage
You’re wondering if ADHD or neurodivergence might be part of it
Even when life is “good”, something can still feel stuck. Often, there’s nothing “wrong” — it’s just a brain that works differently and hasn’t been fully understood yet.
When things start to make sense, everything begins to feel more manageable.
I offer a warm, supportive and practical approach to therapy.
I help you (or your child) to:
Understand how your brain works
Make sense of thoughts and emotions
Reduce overthinking and self-criticism
Build confidence and emotional resilience
I work with:
Children and teens struggling with anxiety, school or friendships
Adults experiencing overthinking, self-doubt or overwhelm
Individuals exploring or diagnosed with ADHD / neurodivergence
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and support can make a real difference.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from various modalities to tailor my approach to your unique needs. Some of the techniques I incorporate include:
This approach emphasises your personal experience and perspective, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment.
This evidence-based method helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, allowing for practical coping strategies.
By exploring past experiences and unconscious processes, we can identify patterns that may be affecting your current mental health.
This method helps in understanding social transactions and the relationships you form with others, promoting better communication and healthier interactions.
Incorporating mindfulness techniques can help you stay grounded in the present moment, fostering a sense of calm amidst chaos.
I believe in the power of healing through understanding and connection. My personal experiences have driven me to ensure that others feel less alone than I did during difficult times. I want to cultivate a space where you feel heard, validated, and understood. My commitment is to help you navigate your challenges with compassion, guiding you towards increased calm, clarity, and confidence.
Whether you choose to engage in online sessions or prefer in-person meetings, my counselling service is designed to be accessible and confidential. Based in Gateshead, UK, I welcome individuals from all walks of life to reach out and start their healing journey.
If you are ready to take the first step toward a calmer and more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. Your mental health matters, and you deserve to feel supported and understood.
