About Donna
Donna Murison, MBACP (Accred) supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and a wide range of life changes. She greets new clients with warmth and clear steps to get started. She aims to make the first sessions calm and straightforward for people who may feel overwhelmed by the process of starting therapy.
Donna offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term support. She uses a person-centred stance as a foundation, which means she puts the client's experience at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
She blends approaches so sessions are practical and tailored to the person in front of her. She commonly uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also draws on compassion-focused techniques to reduce harsh self-criticism and build a kinder way of relating to oneself.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy features among her approaches, helping people explore and make sense of strong emotions when that is helpful. Donna has around 10 years' experience and is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP (Accred). She keeps her practice under regular supervision and continues professional learning to refine her work.
Sessions are offered in English and she is based in the United Kingdom. Practical matters are kept simple. Sessions can be arranged for video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book a suitable time. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Donna commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and work with strong emotions. This approach focuses on how feelings shape reactions and relationships and can help when emotions feel confusing or overwhelming.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and taking steps that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current responses and connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs and preferences and together you will choose what to try first. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, want to reflect between messages, or need a more flexible way to fit therapy into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals adapt these formats to match each person’s goals and rhythms.
