Gwennie Lewis
Practical, compassionate integrative counsellor
About Gwennie
Gwennie Lewis welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people name what matters and take small steps that feel achievable. Gwennie holds a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and uses that training to guide practical conversations about feelings and choices.
She draws connections between past experiences and present worries so people can understand why they react as they do.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build confidence in managing emotions and talking about difficult topics. The work is collaborative - the person in the room helps set the pace and goals. Gwennie blends person-centred ideas with cognitive approaches and attachment-focused thinking.
That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practise new ways of responding, and explore how relationships from the past shape current patterns. Jungian ideas and emotion-focused methods also inform how she thinks about meaning and closeness. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, stress, parenting and adoption-related issues, grief, addictions and career worries.
She has six years' experience working as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom. Outside therapy she enjoys creative arts and community work, including time spent as a foster carer. Gwennie aims to make sessions a place where people feel accepted, heard and supported to try new ways of coping.
To begin, she invites people to take a first step and describe what they want to change. That first conversation often sets a clear direction for the work ahead.

Sessions & fees
How Gwennie’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people notice attachment habits, feel understood, and practise different ways of relating to others.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects feelings and supports personal insight and growth.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Delivered over video, phone or messaging, CBT gives short practical exercises people can use between sessions to change how they think and act.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals and personal preferences and then recommend a mix of methods that fit. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller dialogue helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection and shorter check-ins across the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
