Donna Gonsalves (She/her)Counsellor

Doves Counselling The Gap, Queensland, 4061

Overview

Donna is a qualified counsellor with a special interest in grief, loss and bereavement. For Donna, counselling is more than tackling mental health concerns. Counselling can be a lifeline for those going through relationship challenges, work stresses, significant life changes, grief, or self-esteem and confidence issues. Donna is passionate about assisting people with navigating these concerns as the experience can at times be very lonely, isolating and difficult to understand and work through alone. Donna practice is client-centered and she believes that you are the expert in your own experience. Donna will meet you where you are with compassion and without judgement and align treatment with your values and strengths. When you sit down with Donna, you enter a safe space that is trauma informed. It's a place built on safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. Donna's counselling approach is, "One step at a time, one day at a time."
