Donna Swift – Person-Centred Counsellor
A Supportive Space to Talk, Reflect and Be Heard
I’m Donna Swift, a Person-Centred Counsellor with around 15 years’ experience across therapeutic counselling and related support.
My own experiences of difficult periods during childhood and early adulthood played a part in my decision to train as a counsellor. They helped me understand how important it can be to have somewhere you can talk openly without feeling judged, rushed or told what you should do.
My approach is person-centred, which means our sessions are shaped around you and what you feel ready to explore. Rather than directing the conversation or deciding what you need to change, I aim to provide a supportive space where you can talk through your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.
Counselling can give you the opportunity to better understand what is happening for you, recognise patterns and make sense of experiences that may be affecting your life in the present.
I believe the relationship between counsellor and client is an important part of the process. My role is to listen carefully, respond with empathy and work alongside you without judgement or expectation.
You don’t need to arrive with everything worked out or know exactly what you want to say. We can begin with whatever feels most important to you.
Qualifications

Frequently Asked Question
Yes. Your sessions are treated as confidential and our coaches and counsellors are expected to follow appropriate professional confidentiality standards.
There may be limited circumstances where information needs to be shared, such as where there is a serious concern about safety or where disclosure is required by law. Your provider can explain their confidentiality arrangements at the start of your work together.
That’s completely okay. The relationship you have with your coach or counsellor matters, and sometimes the first person you speak to won’t feel like the right fit.
If that happens, let us know and we’ll help you explore another provider.

Every session will be different depending on whether you choose coaching or counselling and the provider you work with.
You can expect a confidential, non-judgemental space where you have time to talk openly about what is going on for you. A coach may focus more on goals, change and practical next steps, while counselling may give you space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in greater depth.
Your provider will work at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
Sessions usually last 50–60 minutes and can be:
- Phone
- Video call
- Face-to-face (where available)
Coaching is generally more focused on where you are now, where you would like to get to and the changes you want to make. Counselling provides space to explore emotions, experiences and difficulties in greater depth.
There is no fixed script. Your sessions should develop around what you need and what you feel comfortable discussing.
