Counselling

Bonny Allyson MBACP, counsellor in West Norwood, South London & Online Worldwide

Depression

Infidelity

Jealousy

As a Counsellor I can help you identify underlying patterns and issues, as well as assist you in finding the best ways to cope. As a Counsellor we will work together to help you find healthy ways to change behaviours that may be contributing to your situation. Counselling can help you identify constructive ways to deal with a situation that feels as if it is beyond your personal control.

The way I work depends very much on what you would like to gain from your sessions. I see our work as a joint collaboration working together. The first session is an assessment session, it is the chance for you to assess if I am the right person for you. It also gives me the opportunity to understand what you are looking for and to see if I feel what I can offer will suit you.

We can then agree what would be helpful for you. This may be for a set number of sessions – perhaps six or ten – or be left open. I work with people for any length of time according to their needs. This is determined by regular reviews of our work together.

Testimonials

Harpers Magazine Article on Productivity Just CLICK HERE

"I am 42 and had some deep routed issues that stemmed from an emotionally abusive upbringing. My upbringing meant that I suffered from low self-esteem, an intense need to control everything and unfortunately I had anger management problems which cost me most of my adult relationships. Bonny used a multitude of techniques that she had trained in with me and I am extremely happy to say that my life has since turned around. My life is calm, has more meaning and I don’t lose my temper anymore. I have levels of confidence that I never thought I would have and I am happy with being me for once. What is very important to me is that she worked at my pace and has helped me to start living for the first time. I would recommend to her to my friends and family if I knew they needed help. All the best Bonny." 

David A, SW16.

"Working with you has been the best experience of my life because I feel I have actually saved my life, and made it so much better than it ever could be. I feel wonderfully lucky to have been a client of yours. I travelled a long and challenging road and you were there to help every step of the way (even the times when I thought no one could). You challenged me and you helped me see things in a different way and I feel different from the person you first met. You said you saw a strong person, and now, today, I see the strong person you saw all those years ago." 

Client SW17

"Bonny is extremely welcoming and I found we worked really well together. Having not been used to sharing my feelings and little idea what to expect from counselling, I felt I could really trust Bonny. I also found Bonny very insightful and I felt a new confidence in me."

J.C

"Bonny has supported me, both as a counsellor and as a supervisor. In both roles she has provided a safe, contained space to help me explore either my own issues or issues in relation to my own clients. She is a committed professional who has a wide ranging skills and knowledge base from which she can draw on. Highly recommended."

KH, London.

"Attending supervision with Bonny has been the best experience I have ever had. I have always felt received, safe, heard and comfortable while in supervision. Bonny's warmth towards me during our supervision sessions has helped me to overcome most of my fears regarding some complicated client’s cases. I have been able to explore and tackle the most difficult client cases that I have found defeating in the past supervision experiences. I also felt that Bonny understood me better and always made me feel supported."

Shamim

"As a supervisor I find Bonny's integrative knowledge very useful. I find she works with great experience, insightfullness, creatively, has strong boundaries and is very supportive. Supervision really works for me with Bonny."

JC

"In my time working as a Tutor/Lecturer and Group Facilitator with and around Bonny I have found her to be an experienced and insightful professional for whom drawing-out learning from the ‘taught’ and from the ‘doing’ and ‘being’ embedded within practice is a fundamental paradigm. Within her field, Bonny brings to the table commitment, reliability and depth in both experiential and academic knowledge and conveys not only this, but also her self to the learning setting."
