About Donna

Donna Robbie works with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression and life changes using person-centred counselling informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She is registered with the NCPS and has five years of professional experience supporting adults. Donna offers a neuro-affirming approach and has specific experience working with ADHD and autistic adults.

Donna adapts sessions to the individual and focuses on practical ways to manage everyday difficulties. She uses person-centred listening alongside CBT techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour. Sessions often involve talking through problems, trying small behavioural experiments, and practising coping skills between meetings.

She pays attention to issues such as communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and questions of life purpose. That work aims to increase self-understanding and to build manageable steps towards change. The emphasis is on clear, practical tools rather than abstract theory.

Donna’s background includes five years working in the UK counselling field and work across trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression. Her neuro-affirming approach means she considers how ADHD and autistic traits affect daily life and mental health.

People coming to Donna can expect collaborative sessions that balance listening with specific techniques drawn from CBT. She supports adults as they develop strategies to cope, communicate better and make decisions that feel more manageable.

How Donna uses CBT and person-centred work online

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavioural changes. CBT is practical and focuses on what people do day to day, which can help with anxiety, low mood and addictive patterns.

She also draws on person-centred counselling, which means sessions begin with listening and working at the client’s pace. That approach helps build understanding of how a person’s preferences, strengths and neurodivergent traits shape their responses to stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Donna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy proceeds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera when preferred, or use lower bandwidth options to suit their circumstances.
