About Bear

Bear Donna is a UK-credentialed psychotherapeutic counsellor who holds the NCPS credential, a recognised mark of professional training in counselling. He brings focused support for neurodiversity-related concerns, LGBTQIA+ issues, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, and depression, working with each person to explore thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Trained as an integrative practitioner with specialised study in Transactional Analysis (TA), he blends multiple therapeutic models while using TA to help clients identify recurring relational patterns and personal scripts that shape behavior. This combination gives him a broad toolkit to adapt interventions to the needs of the individual and to work practically toward change.

Bear emphasises an open, respectful therapeutic relationship in which people can take the often-difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling life. He aims to empower clients with practical strategies and compassionate support, collaborating with them to set goals and navigate the path forward.

Integrative and Transactional Analysis for Online Care

Bear Donna uses an integrative approach that draws on several evidence-based techniques to tailor support to each person. This method allows him to combine practical strategies, emotional exploration, and skills-building to address issues such as depression, anxiety, and relationship patterns. Transactional Analysis, a core part of his training, focuses on understanding recurring interpersonal scripts and communication styles so clients can recognise unhelpful patterns and experiment with new ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bear Donna works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting focus over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or other commitments. For many people this flexibility helps maintain momentum in therapy while fitting professional help into a busy life.
