About Bear

Bear Donna is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience supporting people through a range of challenges. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and start working toward change.

He helps people facing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and addictive behaviour. He also supports those coping with stress, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and career uncertainty.

Background and approach

Additional areas of focus include neurodiversity, attachment and abandonment difficulties, and alternative-sex-culture matters such as BDSM and kink. Bear uses an integrative approach, drawing on several evidence-based techniques alongside Transactional Analysis. That means he mixes methods to match what each person needs rather than using one fixed formula.

Sessions tend to be practical, with time spent naming patterns, testing small changes and building new habits. People can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. He encourages honest feedback so the work stays relevant and useful.

The emphasis is on small steps that fit day-to-day life, not big abstract theories. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Bear works in English and does not take international clients.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Focus areas and approaches

What Bear works with

Everything Bear lists, in their own terms.

Online support

Bear blends Transactional Analysis with other evidence-based techniques to tailor work to each person. Transactional Analysis helps people spot repeating patterns in how they think and relate to others, which can clarify why certain issues keep returning. Other evidence-based methods focus on practical skills such as managing anxiety, improving sleep routines or changing unhelpful behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. The plan is collaborative so it can be adjusted as progress is made and new information emerges.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well when visual cues and face-to-face conversation matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coaching moments or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
