About Myfanwy

Myfanwy Bower is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has ten years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, self‑esteem problems, parenting pressures and anger. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom.

She follows a person‑centred approach. That means she focuses on what matters to the individual and works alongside them rather than directing the process. She also draws on mindfulness and solution‑focused ideas to help people notice patterns, manage strong feelings and try practical steps between sessions.

In conversation she aims to be calm and straightforward. She helps people name what is happening, look at how it affects daily life, and test small changes that might make things easier. Practical problems such as work stress, caregiving strain or relationship triggers are discussed alongside painful feelings like shame, emptiness or grief.

Myfanwy treats anger as one of many issues that can come up in counselling. She supports people who find themselves snapping at close ones, struggling with resentment, or wanting to manage impulsive reactions. Work with her typically looks at what leads to those moments and what alternative responses a person might try.

She offers a collaborative way of working where goals are agreed together. People are invited to set short‑term aims if they want, or to use sessions simply to make sense of difficult feelings. Practical strategies and mindfulness exercises are used when they suit the client's goals.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Myfanwy uses person‑centred counselling, mindfulness and solution‑focused practices. Person‑centred work means conversations focus on the client's concerns and priorities, with the counsellor offering reflective listening rather than directives. Mindfulness techniques involve short exercises and attention practices to help notice triggers and bodily reactions, which can be useful for managing anger and anxiety. Solution‑focused ideas encourage setting small, practical goals to try between sessions and tracking what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with the client to decide which combination of listening, mindful practice and small experiments best fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as work progresses so methods can change if they do not feel helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel. They may allow shorter check‑ins, reduce time spent travelling, or make it simpler to keep continuity between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer a range of arrangements, and Myfanwy will discuss practical options when you begin the matching process.
