Gwennie Lewis , NCPS

Gwennie Lewis is a down-to-earth and compassionate integrative counselling psychotherapist who blends practical skills with a warm, empathetic presence. She supports people in linking past experiences with present concerns, helping them understand emotions, build confidence in managing feelings, and develop a clearer sense of who they are. Drawing on person-centred principles, cognitive behavioural techniques, and broader psychotherapeutic methods, she tailors the therapeutic process to each individual to help them make choices that feel right for their life.

With over 6 years of practice in the United Kingdom, Gwennie has worked with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, parenting and fostering challenges, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation. Her background includes formal training such as 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 prioritises an open, accepting environment where clients feel heard and valued without judgement. She values the moments when someone connects a past experience to current behaviour, noting how often that insight becomes a turning point. Outside of counselling, she enjoys creative arts like painting, relaxing with films, and contributing to community organisations; she also has experience as a foster mother for around 10 years.

How Gwennie’s Therapeutic Approaches Work Online

Gwennie commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques to support change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connecting and responding to others - it can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship cycles. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space where the client’s own strengths and goals guide the pace of work - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey, and Gwennie works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. The process is shared - together they review what helps and adapt the work as it progresses.

Online therapy with Gwennie is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives.
