Bonita Zammit
Compassionate relational counsellor focused on attachment
About Bonita
Bonita Zammit uses a relational, attachment-informed approach to help people facing relationship and emotional difficulties. She works in a straightforward way and aims to make conversations feel calm and manageable. Bonita is registered with the BACP, and brings 14 years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.
She has worked in a range of settings including a women's centre supporting survivors of domestic abuse, a GP centre, a prison and independent practice.
Background and approach
She also co-facilitates a 12-week Freedom Programme that helps women understand abuse and its effects. Those roles have shaped the way she listens and responds to people in distress. Bonita focuses on relationship and intimacy issues, family-related worries, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and self-esteem concerns. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, domestic violence, guilt and shame, hoarding, loneliness and sexual assault and abuse. Her style is person-centred and psychodynamic in orientation, with an emphasis on attachment.
Sessions aim to create a consistent, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and make small, practical changes. Bonita prefers plain language and an empathic tone in session. She offers work both face to face and online, and speaks English.
People are invited to consider therapy as a steady process where understanding grows over time and small steps lead to clearer choices.

Sessions & fees
How attachment and person-centred work transfer online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses. It helps with relationship patterns, abandonment worries and attachment issues by looking at how people connect and relate to others.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which can support self-esteem, decision making and emotional recovery.
Psychodynamic ideas look at past experiences and unconscious patterns that affect present behaviour. This can be useful for understanding repeated relationship difficulties, shame, guilt and long-standing emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and tailor the style of work as conversations progress. That shared decision-making helps make sessions more relevant and supportive.
Online therapy with Bonita uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can need less bandwidth, and text or chat can suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
