Myfanwy Bower , NCPS

Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor with ten years' experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems and grief. She holds NCPS, which is listed as her professional credential. Her approach is warm and accepting, and she aims to create a calm space where clients can begin to talk about hard things.

She uses a person-centred style that focuses on the person's own experience and pace. That means she listens without judgement and helps people name what matters most to them. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help manage overwhelming feelings and bring attention back to the present.

Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps that move things forward. Conversations often look at what helps already and how to build on it rather than only revisiting problems. Myfanwy works collaboratively so goals are decided together, and the pace is set by the client.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting stress, anger and career worries. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, caregiving stress, infidelity and isolation or loneliness.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People in the United Kingdom can work with her in English. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. Online sessions use that same way of working so conversations centre on the person's experience and pace. This helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and grief.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and bring focus back to the present. These short exercises can be used in video or phone sessions to manage anxiety and strong emotions during or between meetings.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical small steps that move a situation forward. In online work this often means setting clear, achievable goals and checking progress between sessions, which can feel more manageable for busy lives.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process makes adjustments possible as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit those with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging enable brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and clarity.
