About me
Well done for taking the step towards improving your relationship. I know it can feel daunting to do so.
Whether you are seeking a short-term solution-based approach to overcome specific challenges or a longer-term support strategy to achieve sustainable change, I am here to help, credentialed in the UK with many years of professional work experience. I support clients who are experiencing a wide variety of concerns, such as stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, low self-worth, life changes & depression.
I am a qualified couples therapist, trained in the Systemic Family Approach and The Gottman Method, working with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other.
I am an online & telephone-certified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I follow a set of ethical principles and guidelines that underpin my practice. I maintain and enhance the quality of my work through regular supervision and continued professional development.
Couples therapy is complex and requires a deeper level of interaction and understanding. For this reason, I do not offer couples therapy via phone as I find it unsuitable for the therapeutic process. I believe face-to-face video sessions are essential for optimal outcomes.
PLEASE NOTE: I work with BetterHelp on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I do my utmost to reply to messages as quickly as possible. When there is a delay, it is because I am attending to other clients or I have signed off for the day (7 p.m. in the UK). Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Donna Murison. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Working with Donna was a joy. My partner and I were desperate for help and happily found it. Our healing is definitely a journey not a destination, but Donna helped us to apply the emergency care we needed to find each other again. We are both very grateful.
Donna is patient and understanding. She speaks relatively little during our sessions and instead guides the two of us to communicate with each other more openly, honestly, and lovingly. She's been a great resource for our relationship.
She puts you at ease, she is clear and go straight to the point in a gentle but firm way.
She is objective and she has no pre-determined ideas.
Highly recommended.
Donna is friendly and easy to talk to.
She listens to us both patiently and objectively, provides her observations in a gentle and non-judgemental way.
Her suggestions have been taken on board and we have benefited a lot as a couple from her counselling.
Donna has been a great help in facilitating an open conversation between me and my husband, in order to start resolving our marriage issues.
