About Bonny
Bonny Flowers is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She offers calm, non-judgemental support for people dealing with stress and anxiety. Bonny aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone unsure about therapy.
She has 23 years of experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Over those years she has helped people facing relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and problems with motivation.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on listening closely and helping people name what they are feeling. Conversations look at current worries and the patterns that keep them going. She draws on practical tools from cognitive approaches to tackle unhelpful thoughts and on person-centred listening to follow each person's priorities.
Bonny also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice past patterns that influence present behaviour, and brief solution-focused techniques to build immediate, usable steps forward. She works with issues such as addictions, sleep or eating problems, and challenges tied to identity and intimacy. Her style is straightforward and empathetic.
Sessions aim to be a space where people can talk things through, try new ways of coping, and plan small changes. The focus is always on what matters to the individual and what helps them move forward.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person's lead and building a warm, non-judgemental space. In online sessions this means the counsellor listens carefully and mirrors concerns so people feel heard, which helps with issues like low self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into clear steps. Online CBT can teach practical skills such as spotting negative thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be useful for addictions, motivation problems and ambivalence about life changes. In remote work this approach is conversational and goal-focused, helping people set manageable next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match what actually helps.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging offer brief check-ins and written reflections that some people find easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while using methods like CBT or person-centred listening in ways that suit daily life.
