Rate Solenne Donnelly

Hello and welcome! My name is Solenne Donnelly, and I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am also a registered Clinical Counsellor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).

I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, behavioural addictions, disordered eating, life transitions, and challenges with self-esteem or emotional regulation. Many of the clients I work with are navigating questions about relationships, identity, boundaries, and direction in life.

My therapy style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and able to speak openly without fear of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you can explore what you’re experiencing while also developing practical tools to help you move forward.

I take an integrative approach to therapy and draw from several evidence-based modalities including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based strategies, Internal Family Systems (IFS), holistic approaches, and attachment-focused work. I also incorporate techniques that help clients better understand the connection between their emotions, thoughts, and nervous system responses.

Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, or simply want a space to better understand themselves. Therapy can help you gain clarity, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of self.

Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, but it can also be a powerful step toward creating a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with who you are.

I look forward to working with you.
