Donna Robbie

I’m an integrative counsellor working from a neuro-affirming, person-centred foundation. I place the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work and aim to offer a space where you feel seen, respected and able to be fully yourself. Alongside person-centred counselling, I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) where helpful. Our work is collaborative and responsive to what feels most useful for you. Sometimes that may mean space to reflect and make sense of your experiences; at other times, a more structured or practical approach may feel helpful. Where appropriate, I may also draw on mindfulness, breathwork, nervous system awareness and reflective practices. These can support greater self-understanding, self-trust and compassion, and are always explored collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you. I have experience supporting adults with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, trauma, addiction and relationship difficulties. I also have particular experience working with ADHD and autistic adults, including people who are exploring neurodivergence later in life. I’m AuDHD myself, and I bring both lived and professional understanding to this work. My hope is that therapy offers a space where you can understand yourself with greater curiosity, compassion and acceptance. I don’t believe the aim is to become a different or “better” version of yourself. Rather, I hope our work together can help you develop a different relationship with yourself — one built on greater self-understanding, self-acceptance and trust, and one that allows you to work with your brain rather than against it. I currently offer online counselling across the UK and in-person sessions in Buntingford.
