About Myfanwy
Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS, which is listed as her professional credential. Myfanwy takes a person-centred approach and aims to make sessions calm and direct for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing life transitions, career strain, compassion fatigue and issues connected to LGBT identity.
Background and approach
Shorter-term problems such as coping strategies, solution-focused goals and practical steps are part of her work too. Myfanwy blends client-centred practice with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often focus on what matters most to the person, noticing present-moment experience, and setting small, achievable goals.
She works alongside people rather than directing them, helping them choose the pace and focus of therapy. Her style is straightforward and respectful. Conversations are collaborative and aimed at understanding feelings and practical options.
This can include talking through difficult emotions, trying simple mindfulness exercises, or planning steps to manage a specific problem. People considering counselling are asked to book via the site process and to check current session options before arranging a first meeting. Myfanwy does not accept international clients and carries out her work in English.

Approaches Myfanwy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Myfanwy uses client-centred work to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience and priorities. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, follows what the person finds important, and helps them make sense of their feelings in everyday language.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to bring attention to the present moment. Mindfulness techniques used in sessions are simple practices that help with anxiety, stress and difficult emotions by training attention and noticing patterns in thoughts and sensations.
Solution-focused therapy appears alongside these approaches and is used to set short-term, achievable goals. That can be useful when someone wants practical steps to manage a specific issue, such as improving sleep, handling work stress, or taking small steps after a relationship change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together rather than imposing a single method. This collaborative exploration helps identify whether more present-focused practice, goal-setting or open person-centred conversation will be most helpful.
The profile mentions online counselling as a way she works, but it does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around daily routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule.
