About Bear
Bear Donna is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. He holds the credential NCPS and has three years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression and related concerns.
He aims to create an open and non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with time to talk and to try out new ways of coping. He supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, eating concerns and relationship strain.
Background and approach
His background includes study in integrative counselling and Transactional Analysis. That means he draws on several approaches and pays particular attention to how people relate to themselves and others. He uses tools from different models to suit each person’s needs rather than sticking to one single method.
People often come for help with sleep problems, low self-esteem, career worries, grief and parenting stress. He also works with concerns linked to neurodiversity, LGBT matters, ADHD and bipolar experience. He is familiar with intimacy-related issues, body image and the impacts of chronic illness.
Bear describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative. He aims to support and empower clients as they practise new ways of thinking and behaving. If someone wants a calm, direct style and practical steps alongside reflective conversation, his approach may fit.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. That way the plan can change over time if something is not helping. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more frequent, brief contact between longer sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
