About Bonny
Bonny Flowers is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 23 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, grief and loss, and motivation difficulties. Her work also covers issues such as addiction, sleeping and eating concerns, parenting strains, and changes in life circumstances.
She aims to create a straightforward space for talking through what is on someone's mind. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Sessions are direct and unhurried, with attention to how everyday patterns and past experiences affect current problems.
Bonny uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. This includes client-centred sessions that let the person lead the discussion and cognitive behavioural techniques to uncover and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is trying to make changes, and psychodynamic ideas are drawn on to look at early patterns that repeat over time.
Her experience means she is familiar with common family and parenting pressures, including blended family issues, adoption and fostering concerns, and caregiving stress. She also supports people dealing with anger, commitment worries, and communication problems. Advice and practical tools are offered alongside open listening.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions using this approach let the client set the pace and topics, which can help when sorting through relationship stress or parenting worries.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. In an online session CBT can be used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise different responses to anxiety, low mood or eating and sleeping issues.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is trying to make change. It involves clear, non-pressuring conversation to clarify goals and boost commitment to practical steps, which can suit people facing addiction or lifestyle shifts.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as work proceeds so the plan stays relevant.
Please confirm the session formats Bonny offers before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around home and work commitments.
