Myfanwy Bower, NCPS

Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor with ten years' experience who works in a person-centred way. She aims to create a warm, accepting environment where people can begin to make sense of painful or confusing feelings. Myfanwy holds NCPS, which is shown as her listed credential, and she works from the United Kingdom offering help in English.

She uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to each person. Mindfulness techniques are part of her practice to help with present-moment noticing and easing overwhelming thoughts. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people identify practical next steps when they want them.

Myfanwy supports people dealing with many concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, caregiver stress and aging and geriatric issues. She also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, anger, and career-related stress. Additional focuses include abandonment, isolation and guilt and shame.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful. She talks with people about what goals, if any, they want from counselling and helps them try different strategies to reach those goals. Sessions are steady and paced to the individual rather than rushed.

Practical matters such as session scheduling use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to therapist availability.

How this counsellor uses client-centred and practical approaches online

Myfanwy draws on client-centred work to keep the focus on the individual's concerns and priorities. This approach means the session starts with what matters to the person and follows their pace, helping them feel heard and respected.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to support noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Mindfulness can help when anxiety, stress or grief feel overwhelming by teaching simple ways to return attention to the present. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, practical steps that can make daily life easier and build momentum toward goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and agree on what to try first, then adjust methods as needs and preferences become clearer. This collaboration helps tailor sessions to the individual's goals.

Session format details are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. It can also allow people to join from a quieter space at home or during the day when that suits them, depending on available formats.
