I am a 46 year old mother of three (aged 24, 8 and 6) I have had vast life experiences and am in a personal place whereby I consider myself emotionally and relationally healthy.
I qualified as an Integrative Counsellor in 2007. After this I have worked with a diversity of clients, on a one to one and group environment.
I currently practice in a Women's Centre, counselling women who are survivors of domestic abuse. I also co facilitate the Freedom Programme, a 12 week course to support women to understand abuse, it effects and consequences.
I have also worked privately, within a GP centre and a prison.
I have predominantly worked with adults, face to face, on line and over the telephone.
I am educated to Advanced Diploma level and have continued my PPD since by attending courses, reading and working voluntarily.
I feel that a phenomenological and person centred approach enables trust, security , progress and the healing process.
I have a real passion and belief in the therapeutic process. I perceive life as a journey and counselling as a support for the hindrances or pain it can bring.
I am able to provide a consistently safe and non judgemental space for awareness and healing to develop

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bonita Zammit. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I like Bonita because she explores my past experiences with me to get more detailed perspective on what could be causing my current situation.

Bonita is amazing. She has so much knowledge about various issues. She is a great listener, pays so much attention to what I say, to my body language, and also what I don't say. She knows exactly what questions to ask and offers such deep insights. She has helped me so much since we started therapy. Finding Bonita on BetterHelp has honestly been one of the best things that happened to me. I cannot recommend her strongly enough.

Bonita’s weekly sessions were something I looked forward to every week. She is the most reflective, supportive and trustworthy therapist I have worked with. I would recommend her without any hesitation and I do really hope to work with her in the future again.
