Donna Robbie, NCPS

Donna Robbie is a UK-credentialed integrative counsellor with five years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Her practice includes significant work with trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and complex life transitions, and she brings a calm, practical focus to helping people navigate those challenges.

She identifies as an AuDHD therapist and uses a neuro-affirming approach, drawing on particular experience supporting autistic and ADHD adults. Donna recognises how overwhelming it can be to manage mental health, identity, and day-to-day life in environments that do not always feel accommodating or understanding, and she aims to validate those experiences while building useful strategies.

Her work is grounded in person-centred counselling and informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused techniques. Donna adapts therapy to the individual, offering a collaborative space to increase self-understanding, develop practical coping skills, and pursue meaningful, sustainable change. She holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training and adherence to recognised counselling standards in the United Kingdom.

CBT, compassion-focused care and neuro-affirming support online

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then develop practical skills and behavioural changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and addictive behaviours.

She also draws on compassion-focused techniques, which encourage self-understanding and kinder self-talk to address shame, guilt, and self-criticism. Person-centred principles guide the work as well, ensuring the pace and focus are shaped by the individual’s priorities and lived experience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Donna collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists work together with clients to adjust methods over time so the care remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live at a distance. These formats make it easier to attend therapy regularly and to integrate new skills into everyday life, while allowing clients to choose the way of working that feels most comfortable.
