Donna Robbie

Donna Robbie is a counsellor with five years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and works with adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction and life changes. Donna aims to make therapy understandable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Her approach blends person-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused ideas. Sessions focus on building self-understanding and practical coping skills. Conversations are collaborative, with priorities set together so work feels relevant to everyday life.

Donna often helps people unpack stress, low self-esteem, guilt, shame and impulsivity. She also supports those struggling with communication difficulties, control issues, life purpose and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way and test manageable changes.

Therapy can include short-term work to manage a specific problem or longer work to address deeper patterns. Donna adapts tasks and pacing to suit each person’s needs. She aims to make tools simple and usable between sessions.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk and plan next steps. Donna explains techniques in plain language and sets clear, practical goals. This helps people try new ways of coping and notice small shifts over time.

How CBT and person-centred work translate to online therapy

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. CBT often involves setting simple experiments and practical tasks to try between sessions, useful for issues like anxiety, low mood and stress.

Her person-centred way of working means sessions begin with listening and understanding what matters most to the client. Compassion-focused ideas are used alongside CBT to soften harsh self-judgement and build kinder ways of relating to oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will discuss goals and preferences together and tailor methods accordingly. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how fast to move.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find the practical focus of CBT transfers well to remote sessions, with clear tasks and check-ins that slot into daily life.
