About Solenne
Solenne Donnelly is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and has five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, disordered eating, and issues around identity, boundaries and direction in life.
Solenne often helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns or overwhelmed by life changes. She uses practical tools to support emotional regulation and clearer decision making. Sessions include talking through current problems and learning skills to manage intense feelings and relationships.
Her work draws on several evidence-based methods. This includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address thoughts and behaviour. She also uses Attachment-Based approaches and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) strategies to support relationships and emotional skills.
Solenne integrates mindfulness-informed techniques and some Internal Family Systems ideas to help people notice reactions and reconnect with what matters to them. She explains connections between emotions, thoughts and the nervous system so clients can try different ways of responding.
Sessions are available in English and French. Solenne is based in Australia and does not accept international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Solenne’s therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying your values and taking small committed steps that match them, while teaching ways to relate differently to painful thoughts and emotions. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping people understand and adjust how they relate to others. This approach can be useful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Solenne will discuss your situation and preferences and together you can decide which strategies to try first. That collaborative process helps shape goals and the skills you practise between sessions.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments around study, work or travel, reduce commuting time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to use ACT or CBT exercises during sessions, these methods adapt well to remote work and can include practical homework and skills practice between meetings.
