Myfanwy Bower
Warm person-centred counsellor
About Myfanwy
Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor with ten years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works in a person-centred way and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful or confusing feelings. Myfanwy uses a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs and helps people decide what they want from counselling.
She draws on client-centred practice to listen carefully and follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people build calm and focus when anxiety or overwhelm are present. Solution-focused ideas are used when people want practical steps and progress within shorter timeframes. Myfanwy specialises in a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and self-esteem.
She also supports people facing life changes, career pressures, parenting strain, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, control issues, dissociation, infidelity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and she works with people who prefer those formats.
Conversations are collaborative and goal-focused when that suits the person; at other times the emphasis is on exploring emotions and gaining understanding. Myfanwy holds the NCPS credential and integrates straightforward techniques rather than jargon. She aims to help people find manageable ways to cope, rebuild confidence and move forward at their own pace.

How her approaches work online
Myfanwy uses client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of the work. This means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of feelings and choose the direction of sessions.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. These practices can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and strong emotions by building simple habits of attention.
Solution-focused ideas are used when someone wants to set clear goals and take concrete steps. This approach looks for small, practical changes that can produce quick improvements and build momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Myfanwy works collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the balance of listening, mindfulness exercises and practical steps as the work unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy or unpredictable schedules. Video calls allow visual connection, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging helps when someone prefers to write. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or caring responsibilities.
