Donna Folkes

Donna Folkes is a highly regarded counsellor with many years of experience in the field. Donna is a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association and works with people across a wide range of presenting concerns. She is approachable and truly passionate about helping others, and her deep commitment to fostering hope and growth guides her in every session.

Donna works collaboratively with each client to achieve their therapy goals. She shares warmth and understanding in a non-judgmental space, and respects each client’s experiences and feelings while offering therapeutic support. In a typical first session, clients are warmly welcomed into a highly supportive environment to discuss their concerns openly. Donna often begins by explaining the process of therapy and answering questions or concerns. This initial session is an opportunity for clients to share their goals and is a place where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, developing new insights and practical strategies for positive change.

Donna’s approach is unique. She recognizes each client as the expert of their own life. Instead of giving answers, she guides her clients to find their own solutions through therapy and tailors each session to what works best for each client whether that involves somatic therapy, meditation, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or solution-focused therapy.
