Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and practices online, helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions. Her approach aims to be warm and non-judgemental so that clients feel heard from the first session.

She works in a client-centred way, offering an accepting space where people can talk through painful or confusing feelings. She also draws on mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up in them.

Background and approach

Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want practical steps and small, achievable changes. Sessions are collaborative. The counsellor and client decide together whether goals are needed and what they should look like.

Myfanwy prefers short, focused conversations when a clear problem is present, and gentler exploration when someone needs time to understand complex emotions. Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including relationships, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, eating difficulties, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation and career stress.

Myfanwy offers a respectful space to explore these matters at a pace that suits the individual. People can expect practical tools as well as listening. Mindfulness exercises, simple goal-setting and reflective conversation are commonly used.

The overall aim is to help people manage difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward.

How these approaches work online

Myfanwy uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and providing an accepting space where a person can say what matters to them. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and time to make sense of strong feelings.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting carried away by them. These simple exercises can reduce rumination and make it easier to respond rather than react to stress and anxiety.

Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want concrete change. The counsellor helps identify small, practical steps and checks progress so people can see what works for them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. This means the plan can shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins or work between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
