About Donna
Donna Murison, MBACP (Accred) welcomes people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or overwhelmed by life changes. She supports those coping with grief, relationship problems, sleep or eating difficulties, addiction concerns, ADHD, and parenting strains. Donna offers a calm and steady presence to help clients decide whether short-term solutions or longer-term work will suit them.
Donna uses a person-centred foundation alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. She listens for what matters to each person and adapts sessions to fit those needs.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical strategies, clearer thinking, and small steps that can make daily life easier. She blends compassion-focused ideas with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That mix helps people understand self-criticism, build kinder inner responses, and practise new ways of coping.
Sessions aim to turn insight into simple tools to use between meetings. Donna draws on ten years of experience and is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP (Accred). She continues professional development and regular supervision to keep her practice current.
Work is available in English and accessible to international clients. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a suitable appointment time is scheduled according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Donna uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people understand how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going, and to teach practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and managing ADHD symptoms.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and to clarify values that guide meaningful action. ACT can be useful for coping with life changes, persistent worry, and motivation-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will discuss different methods with each client and agree on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process that aims to match strategies to personal goals and day-to-day realities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around parenting, work and other commitments.
