Bonny Burns, APSATS-cpc, ACC, ADOH, CCCS, ERCEM trained, BS in Christian Counseling Psychology from Liberty University. Bonny began her partner recovery journey in about 2010.
Bonny's career began writing and researching healthy, godly sexual intimacy since 2012 on a blog and later joined a healthy sexuality podcast, forchristianwives.com.
Because of her own story, she now helps wives impacted by sexual betrayal in all phases of their healing.
Her niche is helping them discover confidence that sex addiction is not about sex or any lack in them. With this confidence, wives can move forward in strength, setting firm boundaries and understanding that worth comes from their status as God’s daughter, not any earthly role.
Bonny walks with women individually and in small groups. She also coaches couples in recovery.
She and her husband, Dave, have been married over 39 years, have 3 adult sons, and live in east TN. Their tears have dried and laughter has returned.

Based in the UK, Cat was the first European practitioner to be certified by the Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS), now serves on their Board of Directors, and co-delivers their clinical training.

She is also a passionate advocate for more trauma-informed responses within church communities, helping create safer spaces for those seeking support in their faith.
As a host on Hope for Wives, Cat brings both professional insight and a grounded, empathetic presence. She cares deeply about creating a space where women feel seen, understood, and supported as they take their next steps toward healing.
