His practice addresses issues including neurodiversity, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, depression, ADHD, anxiety and stress, addictions, relationship and family problems, grief and intimacy-related issues, sleep and parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem, career-related struggles, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Integrative and Transactional Analysis for Online Support

Bear Donna draws on an integrative approach and Transactional Analysis to guide online work. Integrative therapy blends techniques from multiple evidence-based models so interventions can be tailored to an individual's needs - this helps address a range of concerns from mood and anxiety to relationship and identity issues. Transactional Analysis (TA) explores how patterns of communication and internal life scripts shape behaviour; it can be especially useful for understanding relationship dynamics, emotional responses, and repeating patterns that cause distress.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Bear uses assessment and ongoing conversation to identify which methods best fit a client's goals, preferences, and challenges, and adjusts the plan as work unfolds to ensure it remains relevant and practical.



Online therapy with Bear is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access help from home. These formats allow registered professionals to provide the same core therapeutic work - exploring difficult emotions, developing coping strategies, and practising new ways of relating - with flexibility in scheduling and communication style to suit individual needs.
