Face-to-face
A calm, confidential room, free from distractions.
A safe space to reflect, pause and find your way forward.
safe-space counselling offers warm, confidential counselling in the Coleraine area and by telephone/online throughout Northern Ireland and the UK. I'm an integrative counsellor with more than 20 years' experience in mental health and wellbeing.
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step. You don't need to have all the answers before you begin. Just coming as you are is enough.
Hello, I'm Donna
For more than 20 years, I've supported adults and young people through some of life's hardest moments. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and feel genuinely heard.
More about meHow counselling can help
Counselling gives you time and space to make sense of what's happening for you. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, notice patterns and find ways forward that feel right for you.
-
- Anxiety and panic
- Depression and low mood
- Trauma and difficult past experiences
- Low confidence and self-esteem
- Just needing someone confidential to talk to
-
- Bereavement and grief
- Relationship and communication difficulties
- Major life changes and transitions
-
- Alcohol and drugs
- Support with recovery and a harm reduction approach
You don't need a specific problem to come to counselling. Sometimes you just feel that something isn't quite right, and that's reason enough.
Counselling that fits around your life
Whichever way we meet, my approach stays the same: warm, supportive, professional and confidential.

One-to-one counselling, shaped around you
Individual counselling is a confidential space to explore what's troubling you with a trained professional. Sessions last 50 minutes and usually happen weekly or fortnightly. We go at your pace, and you're always in control of what you share.
