About Bear
He has worked with a wide range of concerns including neurodiversity, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and depression. He also helps people manage anxiety, stress, ADHD and problems with sleep. Practical issues such as work stress, career choices and coping with life changes are also part of his practice.
Bear draws on an integrative approach and transactional analysis as part of his work. That means he can bring different tools together to suit the person sitting in front of him. Sessions often involve clear talking, checking what helps, and trying out new ways of handling thoughts or feelings.
Clients can expect straightforward language and a focus on what matters in daily life. He aims to make sessions useful from the first few meetings by setting realistic goals and small steps. He explains ideas plainly and keeps the pace matched to each person.
He works in English and does not take international clients. If you decide to begin, the process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Bear uses an integrative counselling style and transactional analysis as core tools. An integrative approach means he draws on several evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs, mixing conversational work with practical exercises. Transactional analysis looks at how patterns of relating and communication develop and helps people change unhelpful cycles in relationships and in how they speak to themselves.These approaches can help with issues such as trauma responses, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship patterns and life transitions. He will work with each person to choose which methods to use and will explain why a particular approach might help. Deciding on the right way of working is collaborative and shaped by your goals and preferences.
The practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions fit around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and is often easier to schedule around busy days. The specific session formats available are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking to ensure they fit your needs and routine.
