About Myfanwy
Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor with ten years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS, which is noted as her listed credential. Myfanwy offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
She works in a person-centred way, meaning sessions focus on the person’s own experience and priorities. That approach is paired with mindfulness techniques to help manage strong feelings, and solution-focused methods to set practical, small goals.
How Myfanwy works
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. People come to her for a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties.
She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, eating issues, parenting strain and compassion fatigue, among other stresses of life. Myfanwy aims to create a warm and respectful space for people to talk through painful or confusing experiences. She helps clients notice patterns, make sense of their feelings and choose actions that feel manageable.
Goal-setting is practical and often focused on short-term steps. Online sessions are offered in ways that resemble a face-to-face meeting, as long as clients can find a reasonably quiet place to talk. The focus remains on listening, helping people make sense of their situation and finding ways forward that feel right for them.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and what matters most to them. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the person’s lead, helping them name feelings and priorities. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm and calm strong emotions; it can help with anxiety, stress and mood regulation. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on building what is already working, which is useful for practical problems and short-term goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as you progress.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls give a near face-to-face experience, while phone sessions can work well when less bandwidth or a quieter audio-only conversation is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments, and to access support from different locations within the United Kingdom.
