Bonny Flowers, BACP

Bonny Flowers uses a warm, person-focused approach to help people who are feeling overwhelmed. She draws on established talking therapies to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and confidence. Her style is straightforward and down-to-earth. With 23 years of work in the United Kingdom, Bonny brings long experience to each session. She aims to make it easy to talk about grief, loss, relationship worries and motivation. She also helps with addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and issues linked to intimacy and identity. Sessions begin with plain conversation about what matters most right now. She listens and asks practical questions to clarify goals. Together they map small steps that fit the person's life and capabilities. Her practice draws on client-centred work that keeps the person's priorities central. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when patterns of thought and behaviour need changing. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas help people find momentum and set realistic goals. People who come to Bonny often want practical tools as well as a calm space to think things through. She explains options in simple language and checks in about progress. Her aim is to help people feel more able to cope, make choices and move forward.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and working at the person's pace; it helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and make sense of change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into smaller parts and teaches practical tools; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving routines.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Bonny will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing check-ins and moments when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps.
