Relationship Counselling in Melbourne

How relationship counselling can help you

Counselling can provide support to women and their partners as they navigate midlife changes. My goal is to help women embrace and manage the symptoms of this phase, offering hope for a happier future. I offer practical guidance to help individuals reconnect with themselves and their partners, considering all aspects of life to make it more fulfilling.

I am fully committed to being your guide and a trusted confidant during this significant period of transformation. Together, we will systematically address your concerns using a safe and supportive approach. Our objective is to uncover the underlying issues, provide you with the necessary tools, and guide you towards inner peace, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

You are not alone in this journey, and I am unwavering in my support. Let's move forward together, with a touch of humour to keep us sane along the way!

Meet your therapist, Donna

Hello, I'm Donna Robinson, a tertiary qualified and registered Relationship Therapist. My passion lies in supporting professionally driven, high-achieving individuals, especially women and their partners navigating the unique challenges of perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

In this pivotal stage of life, many of my clients find themselves excelling in their careers while experiencing uncertainties in their relationships. The effects of perimenopause and menopause symptoms can create a sense of unease, both in personal relationships and professional pursuits. Often, neither person fully understands or knows how to navigate these changes. Together, we embark on a journey to dispel fear and disconnection, forging a path towards a healthier, happier future in both your personal and professional spheres.

For any enquiries, including appointments call:

  • “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."
