Myfanwy Bower, NCPS

Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She works in a person-centred way, offering a warm and respectful space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Myfanwy uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques alongside core person-centred practice to tailor sessions to what a client needs.

She aims to create a non-judgemental, accepting atmosphere. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the client and then deciding collaboratively on goals. The counsellor emphasises practical steps as well as helping people make sense of painful or confusing experiences.

Myfanwy helps with common life stresses such as anxiety, depression and workplace strain. She also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem problems and changes that come with midlife. Other areas she works with include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, eating issues and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is straightforward and calm. Mindfulness exercises are used to help manage overwhelming thoughts and bring attention back to the present. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want short-term, goal-directed work to find what changes will help now.

Sessions are collaborative: the client and counsellor agree what to focus on and plan steps together. Myfanwy encourages people to try practical strategies between meetings and to reflect on what helps. This way of working aims to support clearer thinking and gradual change.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping people make sense of their experience. This approach suits issues where being heard and understood is the main need.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm. It helps with anxiety, intrusive thoughts and stress by training people to notice the present moment and soften reactivity.

Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and practical. It concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what is already working, which can be useful for people wanting goal-directed progress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss aims and preferences and then decide together what methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs become clearer.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel by removing commute time and allowing more flexible timing. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose whether to use video or another supported method once options are confirmed.
