About

Donna Murison is an MBACP (Accred) therapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of clinical practice. Her work is integrative and person-centred, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. She adapts her approach to the needs of each person, blending structured skill-building with attention to emotional experience.

Donna supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including grief and loss, phone and social media addiction, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions such as perimenopause, menopause, separation, and divorce. She also provides couples work and assistance for those exploring a later-life ADHD diagnosis, focusing on understanding the diagnosis, building self-compassion, and developing practical strategies.

Therapeutic work with Donna emphasises a warm, patient, and accepting relationship that aims to clarify thinking and strengthen emotion regulation. Sessions concentrate on setting achievable goals, developing a personalised toolkit of coping techniques, and deciding whether a short-term, solution-focused plan or a longer-term strategy best suits the individual. Donna maintains professional standards through regular supervision and continued professional development.

Remote therapy tailored to skills and self-compassion

Donna provides remote sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Remote work is offered in flexible formats to suit different preferences, from structured, skills-focused meetings to more exploratory conversations. The process is collaborative, with session pace and tasks agreed between therapist and client.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to map connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and to develop practical exercises and action plans that can be practised between sessions. Compassion-Focused Therapy supports people who struggle with harsh self-criticism by cultivating gentler inner responses and skills for soothing difficult emotions.

Attachment-informed and person-centred elements are woven into the online work to provide a steady relational frame for exploring patterns and building new ways of relating. Clients who prefer clear strategies, those who want to develop self-compassion, or people navigating relationship dynamics may find a good collaborative fit. Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
