Gwennie Lewis, NCPS

Gwennie Lewis is a grounded and compassionate integrative therapist who blends practical skills with a warm, empathetic presence. She helps people connect past experiences with current challenges, supporting them to understand their emotions, build confidence in emotional expression, and gain clearer insight into who they are today. Gwennie draws on a range of approaches including psychotherapy, Person-Centred therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to tailor the work to each person’s needs and to guide clients toward decisions that feel right for them.

With over six years of practice in the United Kingdom as an integrative counselling psychotherapist, Gwennie has worked with a broad spectrum of concerns such as trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, parenting and fostering issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, addiction, grief, and many other life challenges. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and where clients feel accepted and heard.

Outside of therapy, Gwennie’s interests include creative arts, painting, and watching films. She has supported her community through board roles at schools, a rape crisis organisation, and a local community centre, and she was a foster mother for around ten years. Her formal training includes a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, Level 3 Certificate in Integrated Counselling, Level 3 Diploma in Psychoanalytical Psychology, and a Certificate in CBT for Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Phobias. She holds membership with NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) and organisational membership with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It helps people address issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and the way past hurts affect present relationships by exploring relational patterns and building more secure ways of connecting.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. It involves empathic listening, acceptance, and supporting clients to find their own solutions, which can be particularly useful for self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping strategies, offering tools to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. Gwennie will work with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods accordingly, combining approaches where that best supports progress.

Online therapy with Gwennie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it flexible for busy schedules and accessible for people who prefer remote options. These formats allow clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from a place that suits them while maintaining continuity of care and convenience.
