About Lewis
Lewis Gains is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can bring problems that are current or rooted in the past. He aims to listen and respond to each person's needs rather than use a fixed method for everyone.
He draws on Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches, adapting sessions to what the person brings. That can mean focusing on feelings in the moment, looking at patterns that repeat, or simply talking through a difficult decision.
Background and approach
The conversation is between two adults and paced to suit the individual. He has four years' experience working with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. He also pays attention to multicultural issues and how cultural background can shape experience.
Sessions may involve exploring emotions, reflecting on past experiences, and identifying small steps to try between meetings. Lewis aims to help people feel clearer about what matters to them and what they want to change. He keeps explanations straightforward and practical during the work.
Lewis practises from the United Kingdom and runs online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Conversations start with what matters most to the person and then the approach is agreed together.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the person wants to talk about. Online sessions using this approach aim to give space for the person to lead the conversation and set the pace, which can help with anxiety, stress and relationship worries.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns, themes and past experiences that influence how someone feels and behaves now. In online work this can mean reflecting on recurring reactions and noticing links between past events and current difficulties such as low self-esteem or repeated relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which way of working feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as the work progresses.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let conversation feel closest to an in-person session, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
