Donna Robbie, NCPS

Donna Robbie is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She holds NCPS as a credential and works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. Donna aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or mood difficulties.

Donna uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the individual at the heart of sessions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and on compassion-focused ideas, to help people spot thoughts and behaviours that cause distress. That mix helps clients make small, steady changes that add up over time.

In sessions Donna offers a calm, non-judgemental space for talking things through. She focuses on building understanding first, then on practical steps people can try between meetings. That might mean testing out new routines, practising different ways of thinking, or learning simple skills to reduce stress.

She pays attention to how identity and neurodiversity affect day-to-day life and adapts her approach to what each person needs. The emphasis is on collaboration - clients set goals and Donna supports them in reaching those goals at a manageable pace.

People commonly bring worries about coping with life changes, addictive behaviours, loneliness, guilt or trouble with communication. Donna aims to help people grow clearer self-awareness and to develop coping strategies that fit their everyday life.

How CBT and person-centred work online

Donna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then try small changes. CBT is practical and task-oriented, which can suit worries, low mood and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Her person-centred approach focuses on listening and building understanding first. That gives people space to say what matters to them and to shape sessions around personal goals and values.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Donna aims to collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs and preferences, and she will reassess what is helping as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
