About Myfanwy
Counsellor Myfanwy Bower is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has 10 years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Other areas she addresses include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger and career matters.
Myfanwy works in a person-centred way. That means she focuses on the person in front of her and supports them to find their own solutions. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with present-moment awareness and on solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps forward.
Sessions are collaborative. She discusses goals with each client and they agree what to work on together. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person’s needs, whether that is reflecting on feelings, practising attention exercises, or setting short-term goals to test changes between meetings.
Myfanwy describes practical work alongside exploration. For someone dealing with grief or loss she may help name stages and responses, while for relationship or intimacy issues she may focus on communication and limits. For stress or anxiety she may introduce brief mindfulness exercises and steps to reduce overwhelm.
Her approach is adaptable and conversational. She asks about what has and hasn’t helped before, and adjusts the way she works to fit each person’s situation. Sessions are offered to adults in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Myfanwy draws from person-centred work, mindfulness and solution-focused methods to shape online sessions. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens and reflects to help the client make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need to be heard and to clarify what matters to them.Mindfulness techniques focus on paying attention to the present moment. Short breathing or grounding practices can help when anxiety or stress feels overwhelming. These exercises are brief and can be practised between sessions to build steadier responses to difficult feelings.
Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and what clients want to try next. It is useful for people who prefer to set clear, short-term goals and test simple changes in their daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work in early sessions. She works together with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation guides how sessions are structured and what techniques are used.
Confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel, and use brief check-ins when needed. It also allows exercises such as mindfulness to be practised at home between sessions, and makes it straightforward to stick with regular appointments that suit everyday life.
