About Donna
Donna Robbie is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Donna also lists work around communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and questions of life purpose.
She uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage day-to-day difficulties and clearer thinking about current choices. Donna also describes a neuro-affirming stance and experience supporting autistic and ADHD-identifying adults.
In practice she helps people untangle how old beliefs or actions continue to affect how they feel now. Conversations will look at concrete habits, thought patterns and coping strategies. The aim is to build understanding that guides practical changes rather than staying stuck in repeated responses.
Clients can expect collaborative work that combines listening with problem-solving. Sessions may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them against evidence, and trying small behavioural experiments between meetings. Donna pays attention to how life context and identity affect mental health and day-to-day choices.
She treats guilt and shame as subjects to be examined and understood rather than judged. That can mean tracing where a feeling started, how it shows up now, and what manageable steps can reduce its grip. Practical coping tools and clearer thinking are central to her approach.
How CBT and person-centred work online
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour and to test unhelpful beliefs against real-life evidence. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, guilt and habits people want to change.Alongside CBT she works in a person-centred way, which means sessions involve listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. That approach supports clearer self-understanding and practical choices. She also describes a neuro-affirming stance, which looks at how autistic and ADHD-identifying traits shape everyday responses and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a method feels in practice, and then agree next steps together. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques and exercises are used between sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep continuity with therapy while managing other commitments.
