About Donna
Donna Robbie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds the NCPS credential and spends her time helping adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. Donna aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people seeking relief from these problems.
Her approach is person-centred and grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy, with an emphasis on developing useful day-to-day skills.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going and trying small, achievable changes. Donna also draws on compassion-focused ideas to help reduce harsh self-criticism and build steadier emotional coping. In practice she works collaboratively with each person to tailor sessions to their needs.
That can mean setting short-term goals, rehearsing new ways to cope, or learning to notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She places weight on practical strategies people can use between sessions. Donna pays attention to life transitions and the isolation that can come with big changes.
She helps people clarify values and life purpose when they feel stuck. Conversations aim to be gentle but direct, with clear steps the person can try afterwards. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions that fit their routine.
How CBT and compassionate approaches work online
Donna uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and try different responses. CBT focuses on clear steps and homework tasks that people can practise between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses compassion-focused ideas to soften harsh self-criticism and build kinder self-talk. That approach supports people who carry a lot of guilt, shame or persistent self-blame and helps create more steady emotional responses.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Donna will work with each person to decide whether CBT, compassion-focused techniques, or a mix of methods is the best fit. The plan is reviewed and adapted as goals and needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging give a quick way to keep continuity between sessions or to have ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
