From Struggle to Strength: Guiding Your Relationship Forward

Empathetic and Effective therapy you can trust

Hello, I'm Donna Robinson, a tertiary qualified and registered Relationship Therapist. My passion lies in supporting couples and individuals, navigate the unique challenges of relationships across all life stages and changes. As your therapist, I bring not only professional expertise, but also empathy, warmth, and a commitment to confidentiality.

Many of my clients excel in their careers but find themselves stuck in their relationships despite trying to make changes. It's a frustrating situation where one or both partners have attempted to address issues, but nothing seems to work. This sense of being trapped in an unhappy dynamic can be overwhelming.

It's like they say, "Nothing changes, if nothing changes." That's where I come in. Together, we dive deep, figure out what's really going on, and work on building new habits and understanding. Just imagine—what would life look like if you weren't constantly worrying about the future of your relationship? Our journey is about creating a more fulfilling and peaceful future.

Proven Success in Relationship Transformation

In my practice, I specialise in truly understanding what the underlying issues are, whether it's communication, conflict, intimacy, or trust.. With three decades of research-backed expertise, I have the toolkit for creating fulfilling relationships and a track record of success in helping countless couples get back on course and find deeper connections.

Why Work With Me?

Realistic Expectations! - And I believe in practical, “real-life” solutions. Through the use of proven methods and a healthy dose of humour (after all, it's one of my core values), we tackle even the toughest topics with a fresh perspective. It's important to remember that we're aiming for a "great enough" relationship, not a perfect one, because that doesn’t exist. The goal is for a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship.

"Navigating mid-life together can bring its own set of challenges. You might feel like you're growing apart, leaving you with a sense of isolation. Arguments may become more frequent, and different expectations can make things feel tougher. Balancing career, personal growth, and relationships can be demanding, and sometimes it feels like you're not on the same page. I understand. You're looking for a change, a reconnection". Donna Robinson, Relationship Therapist

Meet Donna

I started my counselling career to support individuals and couples like you. I understand what it’s like to be facing relationship crisis and desperately looking for someone to listen and understand. I offer you a genuine, authentic and hopeful approach and effective counselling techniques, which incorporate the tools to help you make changes to sustain your happiness over time.

  • “I will be forever grateful for Donna’s warmth, acceptance and support. Donna helped us find hope in the future and we reconnected again after years of turning away. We began to believe in "us" again. Best investment of my life.”

  • “Donna supported me to find my own answers to my problems (which annoyed me sometimes) but now I have the tools and confidence to rely on my own judgement. I liked that we laughed in our sessions and I looked forward to seeing her.”

  • “I was initially reluctant to go down the therapy path as I couldn't imagine that digging up my pain would help me. Donna helped me understand that grief appears in many forms and it's not just about someone dying. I worked with Donna for 3 months, every week, and even though sessions were often hard, they helped me get to a place of strength.”

  • “When I first met Donna I was at rock bottom and overwhelmed with feelings of shame and remorse. At that point, everyone important in my life had given up on me and I had given up on me too. Someone told me to go and see her and I am surprised I did it to be honest. The time I spent with Donna honestly changed my life”

  • “My husband and I began seeing Donna (on a friends recommendation) as a last ditch effort to repair a relationship we had both neglected. Over time we have learnt ways of listening to each other without being defensive. For the first time in 25 years we “get” each other again."
