About Bear

Bear Donna is a UK-based psychotherapeutic counsellor with three years of professional experience who supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+ matters, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, and depression. He combines a depth of training with a practical, client-centered style that prioritizes emotional safety and honest communication. Bear creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood, encouraging clients to take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Trained as an Integrative and Transactional Analysis (TA) Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Bear draws on multiple therapy models and a particular depth of study in Transactional Analysis to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Integrative training means he can match techniques to the situation at hand, while TA offers tools for examining patterns in relationships and inner states. He holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training in counselling and psychotherapy.

Bear applies a variety of evidence-based techniques and practical tools to help with issues such as anxiety, ADHD, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. He aims to empower clients, working collaboratively to build skills, strengthen resilience, and support meaningful change.

Integrative and Transactional Approaches for Online Care



Bear Donna blends integrative therapy and Transactional Analysis (TA) into online work. Integrative therapy combines techniques from several evidence-based approaches so sessions can be adapted to a person’s unique needs - whether the focus is on coping skills, mood regulation, or relationship patterns. Transactional Analysis explores how people relate to themselves and others, helping identify recurring interaction styles and inner states that influence behavior and emotional responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bear collaborates with each person to clarify goals, test different strategies, and adjust the methods used so they fit the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Bear can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility needs. These options make it easier for people to access consistent support, maintain continuity between sessions, and practice skills in the settings where they live and work.
