About Myfanwy
Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor with ten years' experience working with people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She holds NCPS and offers a calm, accepting presence to help people talk through difficult feelings. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people find small, manageable steps forward.
Clients find she listens without judgement and focuses on what matters to them. She uses a person-centred style so the conversation stays rooted in each person's experience.
Background and approach
That foundation is combined with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help with day-to-day coping and clearer decision making. Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Myfanwy keeps sessions simple and down to earth so people can fit them into busy lives.
She works with issues such as relationships, grief, self-esteem, trauma, parenting strain, eating and career pressures. She also supports people facing abandonment, caregiver stress, commitment or control issues, betrayal and loneliness. Myfanwy aims to help people make sense of painful emotions and reduce the impact of those feelings on daily life.
In sessions she collaborates with each person to set realistic goals when that feels right. She helps find practical coping strategies, notice patterns that cause distress, and build on strengths that are already present. Her style suits people who want a respectful, steady conversation and clear steps to move forward.
How Myfanwy adapts counselling approaches online
Myfanwy uses a person-centred approach which means the session stays focused on the person speaking and their experience. This helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These exercises can help with anxiety, stress and recurring negative thoughts. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify small practical steps and build on what already works in someone’s life, which can be useful when people want clear actions to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Myfanwy collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel helpful, and she adapts the balance of approaches as needs and goals change. This is a shared process and evolves with the relationship.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for a full conversational session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on the work you want to do.
