About Gwennie
Gwennie Lewis is a warm and down-to-earth counsellor who aims to help people manage anxiety, stress and relationship worries. She writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel heard. Her manner is understanding and compassionate, which helps clients take the first steps towards talking about difficult feelings.
She links past experiences with current concerns to help people see why they feel or act as they do. Gwennie uses a blend of approaches to make conversations practical and relevant.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on making choices that fit each person’s life and values. Gwennie has worked in the United Kingdom for over six years as an integrative counselling psychotherapist. Her experience covers trauma and abuse, parenting and fostering issues, low self-esteem, depression, grief and a range of other concerns including addiction and bipolar mood challenges.
In the room she aims to build trust and openness so thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. She emphasises being heard as well as listened to, and she values the moments when people connect a past event to a present behaviour.
Outside practice she paints and enjoys films, and she has supported local groups and charities including school boards and Rape Crisis. She was a foster mother for about ten years, which informs her understanding of fostering and adoption topics.
Gwennie holds a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and related certificates, and she is a member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
How Gwennie uses therapy approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It can help people understand recurring patterns in relationships and feel more supported in how they connect with others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting the person to lead the pace of change. It suits people who need a non-judgemental space to explore feelings and make choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will ask about needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video suits in-depth conversations and face-to-face connection. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style work or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to choose the format that feels most helpful.
