Prior to my private work, I was a consultant for children, families and teachers with the Toronto District School Board for 12 years. I have also worked in a similar role with the Avalon East Consolidated School Board in St. John's as an Educational Therapist.
I am community minded, having participated and coordinating many volunteer ventures, both local and international. I was previously a member of the board of directors for the Coalition Against Violence. I have also volunteered and led over ten projects in Africa, Belize and Guatemala. Through my international efforts, I have helped create over fifty village homes, a community centre and a school library.
In addition to counselling, I have been a keynote speaker and avid workshop leader. I regularly lead Wellness in the Workplace seminars for clients such as Nalcor, Bell Aliant, Atlantic Lottery Corporation, Canadian Borders, College of the North Atlantic and Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Bonnie Lundrigan is a counsellor, integrative life coach, medical hypnotist, workshop facilitator and professional speaker.
I have been in private practice since 2002, counselling individuals, children and families. I have been based out of St. John's, my hometown, since 2006. My approach to therapy is eclectic, I believe in co-creating individualized counselling and coaching processes.
