Bonita Zammit, BACP

Bonita Zammit is a 46 year old mother of three with a wide range of personal and professional experience that informs her therapeutic practice. She qualified as an Integrative Counsellor in 2007 and is educated to Advanced Diploma level, having continued her professional development through courses, reading, and voluntary work. She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is noted here as her professional credential.

Bonita has worked with diverse client groups in one-to-one and group settings, including private practice, a GP centre, a prison, and currently at a Women’s Centre where she counsels women who are survivors of domestic abuse. She also co-facilitates the Freedom Programme, a 12 week course designed to help women understand abuse and its effects. Her clinical experience spans face-to-face sessions, online work, and telephone counselling, with a primary focus on adults.

She describes her practice as grounded in phenomenological and person-centred ideas, believing that a person-centred stance fosters trust, security, progress, and healing. Bonita emphasises a non-judgemental, consistent space in which clients can increase awareness and work through life’s challenges, including relationship and family issues, trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and parenting difficulties. She views counselling as support for the obstacles and pain that occur across life’s journey.
