About Myfanwy

Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has worked in the field for 10 years. She works with people who face stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties, alongside a wide range of concerns such as grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the individual.

Her background is in person-centred practice. She uses elements of mindfulness and solution-focused work alongside that approach. This means sessions often start by listening closely to what is troubling someone, then looking at small, practical steps they can try between meetings.

Myfanwy places emphasis on collaboration. She and the client agree what to work on and set goals together when that feels useful. The work is intended to be straightforward and practical, with attention to feelings and coping skills as needed.

People come to her for many reasons including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting stress, anger and career questions. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, guilt, shame and loneliness among other focused issues.

Sessions are carried out in a way that reflects the person-centred approach: the counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own way forward. Myfanwy also draws on mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and on solution-focused techniques to identify small changes that make a difference.

How her approaches translate to online work

Myfanwy uses a person-centred foundation alongside mindfulness and solution-focused methods. Person-centred work means she listens closely and follows what the client brings, helping them to name and make sense of their feelings. Mindfulness techniques involve simple attention exercises and breathing work to help manage stress and anxiety. Solution-focused work looks at current strengths and practical steps to try between sessions, which can be useful for relationship or coping concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the meetings. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is collaborative - expectations and small goals are agreed together and adjusted as progress is made.

The practical advantages of online counselling can include fitting sessions into busy days, having shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions allow them to apply techniques in real-life contexts and to schedule support more easily around work and family commitments.
