Bonny Flowers , BACP

Bonny Flowers is a counsellor with 23 years of experience in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She focuses on reducing stress and anxiety, improving self-esteem and motivation, and addressing relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Her manner is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.

In sessions she creates an open, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters. She listens to everyday worries and helps clients find clearer ways to cope. Conversations are aimed at understanding patterns and choosing small changes that make life easier.

Bonny draws on a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She uses client-centred listening to follow each person’s pace and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to make lasting changes but feel stuck.

She has worked with concerns such as grief and loss, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleep difficulties, and career and life transitions. Bonny also supports people with issues around body image, attachment and communication problems, and the stresses of caregiving and ageing.

Her practice offers practical steps rather than labels. Sessions aim to build coping skills, clarify goals and strengthen confidence. People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward, steady support as they try out new ways of managing everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following a person's pace. The counsellor creates space for people to say what matters and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleeping or eating struggles.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk about different options and test what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and how someone responds guide the choice rather than a fixed method.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy working around daily life.
