Bonny Flowers

Bonny Flowers is a counsellor who draws on 23 years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Bonny aims to make the first steps towards help feel manageable and direct. She creates an open and non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, whether that is building confidence, managing mood, or coping after loss. Conversations are practical and grounded so people leave with clearer next steps. Bonny uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on client-centred work to follow the client's lead. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot patterns in thinking and try new ways of responding. Motivational interviewing helps people find the will to change when they feel stuck. Her background includes many years supporting people with addictive behaviours, eating and sleeping problems, and stress linked to caring roles. She also sees people dealing with trauma, attachment and life transitions such as divorce or ageing concerns. This breadth helps her match methods to each situation. People can expect a calm, steady practitioner who emphasises listening and practical planning. Bonny encourages small, workable steps that fit into everyday life. She emphasises collaboration and supports clients to set realistic goals and review progress together.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, allowing conversations to unfold at the client's pace and helping people feel heard. This approach is helpful for grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns where being understood matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and practical ways to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing aims to uncover a person's own reasons for change and build confidence to act, often used for addiction and lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options with the client and decide together what feels most useful based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative stance means the plan can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as these are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people choose conversations without needing to rearrange long commutes, which can help maintain momentum between appointments.
