The Resilience Practice

Empowering care professionals to find work/life balance with confidence, clarity and compassionate support

Our Story

Donna Bentley‑Carr is an experienced registered nurse and a passionate advocate for patients and carers. She is dedicated to making everyday care safer, calmer, and more confident for those who provide it.

Her gentle approach offers reassurance to people who find themselves heading towards or recovering from burnout, as she has experienced this herself.

After decades of professional practice, Donna pursued additional training and has founded her positive psychology coaching business to help and support health and social care professionals to tune into their strengths, values, and align with purpose intentionally.

Her goal is simple and deeply personal: to give caring professionals protected time and a safe space to pause, reconnect, focus and take action towards the best version of themselves and their future.

Our Approach

The Perfecto™ Framework

An eight‑pillar framework that helps individuals reconnect with the areas of life that influence their overall wellbeing — the parts we can actively shape, strengthen, and nurture.

Our work centres entirely on you — your priorities, your challenges, and the outcomes you want

to achieve, at a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable.

Confidentiality is guaranteed. All discussions remain private and are

managed in line with professional standards.
