Myfanwy Bower, NCPS

Myfanwy uses person-centred counselling to centre conversations on what matters most to the individual. This approach involves attentive, non-directive listening and helps people feel understood while they sort through difficult emotions and decisions.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. These small practices can reduce distress and make it easier to respond rather than react to stress or anxiety.

Solution-focused work is offered when practical, short-term goals are helpful. This approach looks for strengths and past successes, then develops simple, actionable steps to move forward between sessions.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which approaches to try. It is common to combine methods so the work feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier if video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins and ongoing support. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
