Bear Donna, NCPS

Bear Donna is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns, including LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, depression, ADHD and anxiety.

He aims to create an open and non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on listening, practical steps and making small changes that fit each person's life. He encourages people to take the first steps towards a more manageable and satisfying day-to-day.

His work covers many everyday struggles such as stress, grief, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and addictions. He also helps with parenting strain, career worries and self-esteem. There is attention to more complex areas too, like bipolar disorder, attachment difficulties, and challenges linked to neurodiversity.

Bear holds the NCPS credential and draws on a mix of therapeutic ideas to help people make sense of patterns in their lives. He uses tools from Transactional Analysis alongside other models he has studied to tailor his approach to each person.

Sessions can focus on skills for coping, improving communication, managing mood swings, or practical plans for recovery and change. The emphasis is on straightforward, compassionate support that helps clients move forward at their own pace.

Approaches and online support that fit your life

Bear draws on Transactional Analysis alongside other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people recognise repeated life patterns and understand how past relationships influence present feelings. Transactional Analysis looks at how our ways of thinking and relating were shaped, and it helps with issues like communication problems, attachment difficulties and low self-esteem.

He also uses practical, skills-based techniques from proven therapeutic methods to address mood, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms and coping strategies. These tools focus on behaviour changes, emotion regulation and problem-solving that can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let you work face to face when needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins or if writing feels easier. These options help people access consistent support around work, caring duties or other commitments.
