Gwennie Lewis , NCPS

Gwennie Lewis is a grounded, empathetic counsellor who blends a holistic, integrative style with practical therapeutic techniques to support people navigating emotional and relational challenges. She helps clients connect past experiences with present difficulties, guiding them to understand their emotions, build confidence in managing feelings, and explore a clearer sense of identity. Her approach draws on attachment-focused work, person-centred principles, cognitive behavioural strategies, and other psychotherapeutic methods to make change feel manageable and meaningful.

With over 6 years of experience working as an integrative counselling psychotherapist in the United Kingdom, she has supported people with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, depression, anxiety, parenting and fostering challenges, self-esteem and confidence, grief, addiction, and stress-related difficulties. She also works with issues such as intimacy, sleep problems, anger, career transitions, bipolar management, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Gwennie creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly; mutual trust and openness are central to her practice. She values the moments when clients make connections between earlier experiences and current patterns, and she welcomes the discovery and deeper exploration that often follows an initial concern.

Her professional training includes a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a Level 3 Certificate in Integrated Counselling, a Level 3 Diploma in Psychoanalytical Psychology, and a Certificate in CBT for Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Phobias. Gwennie holds individual membership of NCPS - the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society - and her practice is connected with BACP at an organisational level. Outside of counselling, she enjoys creative arts, community involvement, and has nearly a decade of experience as a foster mother.

Integrative approaches for effective online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion. It helps people understand attachment styles and work toward more secure ways of connecting, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, trust issues, and attachment concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy, also known as person-centred therapy, emphasises a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship where the client is seen as the expert on their own life. This approach supports self-exploration, self-worth, and decision-making, and is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional clarity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Short-term and skills-focused, CBT can assist with anxiety, depression, phobias, and coping with overwhelming stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Gwennie takes a collaborative stance - exploring a client’s goals, preferences, and responses to different methods to find the best fit. She integrates techniques as needed so the work feels relevant and tailored.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and makes ongoing support easier to maintain around work, family, or daily commitments. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from their own location while keeping therapy consistent and adaptable to changing needs.
