Donna Matthews is an experienced counselling supervisor, therapist, hypnotherapist and addiction-informed practitioner with a compassionate, practical and trauma-informed approach.

She offers supervision to counsellors, therapists and helping professionals who want a supportive space to reflect honestly on their client work, professional development and personal responses. Donna’s supervision style is relational, collaborative and grounded in real-world practice. She encourages supervisees to think deeply, trust their clinical judgement and work safely within their competence, while also paying attention to boundaries, ethics, self-care and the impact of the therapeutic relationship.

Her professional experience includes working with addiction, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, codependency, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties and complex life experiences. She understands that supervision is not simply about case management. It is also about helping practitioners stay connected to themselves, recognise blind spots and avoid becoming depleted or overwhelmed by the work.
Donna brings warmth, honesty and appropriate challenge to supervision. She aims to create a non-judgemental environment where supervisees can discuss uncertainty, mistakes and difficult cases without fear of criticism.

She works with qualified practitioners and trainees, offering supervision online in a flexible and accessible way. Her goal is to help therapists feel supported, ethically grounded and increasingly confident in their professional identity.
