Counsellor - stress and anxiety
See online counselling optionsAbout Donna
Donna Robbie is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with five years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, addictions, low self esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Donna also focuses on issues like communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and questions about life purpose. She describes her practice as integrative, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT alongside person-centred ways of working.
In sessions she helps people build clearer self-understanding and practical coping strategies. Conversations aim to be collaborative and focused on what is useful day to day. She adapts her approach to match how each person thinks and responds.
The biography notes experience with trauma and complex life experiences, and mentions supporting neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD and autistic identities. That background informs how she frames difficulties and practical supports in the room.
Her style combines talking through feelings with CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. People can expect short-term practical tools alongside space to reflect on deeper patterns. To start, she asks people to complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
CBT and person-centred work for online counselling
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and some addiction-related habits.She also works from a person-centred stance, which means conversations focus on the person's experience and priorities. That approach helps people clarify what matters to them and shape practical steps from there.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which techniques suit the individual's needs, goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review what is helping and adjust the plan together.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping contact short when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Many people use online sessions to manage time, reduce travel and make it easier to access regular support.
