Donna Wells-Cook

I currently have availability for new clients and offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. My hours include daytime and evening sessions, with late-night appointments available up to 9pm to suit your busy lifestyle.

All sessions are conducted via telephone or video call, providing a convenient and accessible way to receive support from the comfort of your own home.

Please note, I will notify clients in advance of any planned time off to ensure continuity of care and support. If you have any specific scheduling requirements or need further information, feel free to contact me directly. I look forward to working with you.

As a Relate trained Relational Specialist keen on mental health support, I am dedicated to providing integrative, personalized therapy sessions tailored to your unique needs. My passion lies in exploring the impact of family life on relationships, reigniting the spark for women experiencing low desire, and offering support through divorce and relationship breakdowns. My approach fosters a kind, open-minded, and non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your needs, hopes, and desires.

I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples, particularly professionals juggling work-life demands and parents navigating post-children relationship challenges.

I also would work with clients to manage their stress levels and improve overall mental health.  This is usually focused on alleviating stress, anxiety, and depression by understanding their physical origins and providing practical, solution-focused strategies to manage symptoms effectively.

I have spent nearly 10 years in counselling and psychology, working  within both Relate and private practice.  This has given me the opportunity to have diverse caseloads and work with a number of different clients to address their individual needs.

I like to utilise solution-focused techniques to offer practical help and advice for managing mental health symptoms.

I have over 20 years of experience in science and healthcare as a biomedical scientist in both the NHS and private sector,  this gives me a unique skill set to help you facilitate change.  

Changing careers from science to mental health gave me a real insight into the difficulties that come with not only changing career but change in general.

Welcome to my practice, where I am committed to providing a supportive and compassionate environment for all clients. My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. You can expect a non-judgmental space where we can explore your concerns, hopes, and desires together.

In your first session with me, I aim to create a welcoming and comfortable environment where we can begin to understand your needs and goals. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation:

Free 15-Minute Assessment: I offer a complimentary 15-minute initial assessment to give you an opportunity to see if my approach aligns with your needs.

Understanding Your Needs: We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, any specific issues you are facing, and your goals for our work together.

My priority is to ensure you feel safe, heard, and respected throughout our time together. Confidentiality and your comfort are of utmost importance.

Your first session is an important step in building a trusting and effective therapeutic relationship. It sets the stage for our future work and ensures we are aligned in our goals and expectations. I look forward to starting this journey with you.
