About Myfanwy

Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential and offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people facing difficult life moments. Myfanwy aims to help clients make sense of painful feelings and to take practical steps forward.

She works in a person-centred way, which means she follows each person's lead and focuses on what matters to them. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed. Solution-focused ideas are used too, to identify small, achievable steps that move a person towards their goals.

Sessions are collaborative. The counsellor and client decide together whether to set goals and what those goals might be. Myfanwy offers a warm and respectful space where people can talk through issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, eating difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and problems linked to separation or loss. Additional focuses include feelings of abandonment, caregiving stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation.

Myfanwy uses simple, practical steps in conversation and in planning. She helps people notice what changes might help and tries to keep the work manageable. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats directly.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Person-centred work puts the person at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening and understanding. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed, confused or stuck and wants a space to be heard without judgement.

Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations. They can help reduce reactivity to stressful moments and support people dealing with anxiety, grief or low mood.

Solution-focused ideas look for small, practical steps that lead to change. They work well when someone wants concrete actions to try between sessions and to track progress.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to choose which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as people learn what helps them most.

The profile mentions online counselling but does not specify every session format, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work effective for many concerns, while tailoring the approach to each person's circumstances.
