Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I became a therapist because I know what it's like to need to rebuild — not just once, but repeatedly, across displacement, across countries, across versions of myself I had to leave behind to survive what came next. That experience shapes almost everything about how I practice today.
I don't believe therapy should feel like something done to you. I see it as a genuine collaboration — you bring your lived experience, I bring my clinical training, and we figure things out together. With your permission, I'll sometimes offer a different way of seeing something: this is what I notice — what do you think? If you see it differently, that's completely fine. We explore from there. Nothing gets handed down as fact.
A lot of the people I work with have already done real work elsewhere. They know their diagnoses, they've learned the coping skills, they can explain their patterns fluently — and it still hurts. That's usually exactly where we begin.
Before I became a therapist, I spent over a decade in the legal field and in ADHD coaching, which means I bring a slightly different lens to trauma, family conflict, and neurodivergence than clinicians who've only trained in one world. I also work with two therapy dogs, Emma and Evee, who often make the room feel safer than words alone can.
If you're the person everyone else relies on, and you're quietly wondering who's supposed to hold you — I'd like to help with that.

Havenwood Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
FREE 20-minute consult: Accepting New Clients - Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you've spent a long time being the person who holds everything together. You may be functioning on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward.
Our approach to therapy begins with meeting you exactly where you are. We don't believe you need to have everything figured out before you begin, and we don't see you as a problem that needs to be fixed. At Havenwood Psychotherapy, we believe your experiences make sense within the context of your story, and that understanding those experiences can create space for meaningful change.
Our work is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Together, we'll explore the patterns, beliefs, emotions, and relationships that may be influencing how you experience yourself and the world around you. We want therapy to be a space where you can be honest, curious, and fully yourself without needing to perform or have the “right” answers.
Therapy isn't always about becoming a different version of yourself. Sometimes it's about coming back to yourself—building self-trust, making sense of what you've been through, and creating the freedom to move forward in a way that feels true to you.
You don't have to carry it all alone. We are here to help you take the next step.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
What I offer isn't a formula. It's a real conversation — one that gets underneath the noise and into what's actually driving the patterns. My focus is simple: helping you simplify your life, reconnect with what love and joy mean to you, and re-establish yourself on your own terms.
Life is change. Stagnant water goes stale — but flowing water nourishes everything it touches. Therapy is how you keep moving, on purpose, toward the life that's meant for you.
That change can begin with a single session
