It's great to have a therapist that holds space for you without any judgement. With the right therapist, I believe it creates essential tools needed inside your life's tool belt. In a way I see Ms. Gwennie as this and as I'm navigating this new chapter, I feel greatly supported on my journey.

I’m a down to earth, understanding, empathetic and compassionate therapist with a holistic and integrative approach to therapy. I walk with you in connecting your past experiences with todays’ concerns and support you on the journey to feeling confident in managing and talking about your emotions, as well as understanding why and who you are today.
I combine psychotherapy, Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other approaches to ease the process and guide you towards making the decisions that you feel are right for you.
I have worked as in integrative Counselling Psychotherapist in the UK for over 6 years and have significant experience in helping clients with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, abuse, relationships, depression, anxiety, fostering, parenting, motivation, self-esteem, confidence... the list really goes on!
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared. With me, you can feel accepted and valued for who you are without fear of being judged. With mutual trust and openness, you will know that you have not just been listened to, but also heard. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage so well done, and I am proud of you for getting started!
What do I love about counselling:
Apart from the obvious response of being able to help others on their journey through life, I most enjoy the moment a client makes the connection between a past experience and current behaviour. Such a game changer.
That said, what I love the most about counselling is the Pandoras Box it opens. As a client you may come to talk about one particular issue, but once that box opens..!
Other Interests outside Counselling:
I enjoy creative arts so in my spare time you will find me either painting, or morphing into my sofa watching a film.
I am keen on supporting my community and have sat on several boards including two schools, Rape Crisis, and a local community centre.
I was also a foster mother for around 10 years.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Gwen is amazing! She is extremely sympathetic, considerate, and wise. She has helped me through some of the toughest times in my life and has always been supportive. She listens carefully, offers valuable advice, outlines possible solutions, and helps me understand the potential consequences of my actions. I truly appreciate her, and I’m so grateful to have matched with her!
I cannot express how much Gwen helped through a very tough time of my life. She listened, she was kind and understanding, she gave advice, she challenged me but most of all she always championed me and I dont know if I would be on a better path like I am without her. I can only recommend her as therapist, she is wonderful.
Gwennie is an absolute gem! Therapy can be tough, but Gwennie makes it a lot easier to navigate the difficult emotions and experiences. Her kindness and genuine care create a safe space where I feel supported, even when facing challenging topics. She's incredibly professional and skilled, gently guiding me through the process with empathy and understanding. I was nervous about starting therapy, but Gwen made me feel comfortable and at ease from the very first session. Her warm and friendly demeanor made it easy to open up and feel comfortable. If you're looking for a therapist who is both compassionate and insightful, I can't recommend Gwennie enough. She's truly gifted at helping people navigate life's challenges. She has made a huge difference in my life, and I'm so grateful to have found her.
Gwennie is Friggin amazing! It’s been 3 amazing months since I had my first session with Gewn. I have seen, felt and made huge progress and her advice and guidance has got me to a place I never knew I could once reach. She is real and tells you as it is. An amazing human being and I’m blessed to have her as my therapist.
One word; exceptional.
I spoke to Gwen only once due to moving abroad but even that short chat helped me see things through clearer lenses. Thank you!
Gwen has been an incredibly positive force in my life. She has given me the space to share my problems, helped me understand my issues, worked through them with me, and helped me come up with strategies for improvement. I was having some major communication issues in my relationships that were massively affecting my life with my partner. With Gwen's help my relationship with my partner has never been better.
Gwennie is wonderful. She has been incredibly supportive, kind, professional. Every word of advice and all her guidance has got me through one of the worst periods of my life. I feel so lucky to have been matched with her. She really has changed my life, how I see things and how I feel about myself for the better. Thank you Gwennie. Forever grateful!
Gwennie is very supportive and understanding. I feel I can speak about everything with her and she would never judge but instead take me and my concerns seriously and I appreciate that so much.

Despite, this being my first time in therapy, I am really glad that Gwennie Lewis is my therapist as she always listens to my troubles, gives me feedback, and pieces of advice and supports me with things I am struggling with.
Gwennie is compassionate, professional, supportive and gives great advice. She gives both practical and emotional guidance. I don't know how I would have gotten through the past 5 months without her. She's kept me together, when my whole world fell apart. She has been my cheerleader, my shoulder to cry on, given me constructive feedback to work with to help with my situation. I admire her strength, energy, empathy and expertise. Thank you Gwennie for everything. I would have been lost without you.
Gwennie has been a fantastic addition to my healing journey. Her energy, understanding and insight has been exactly what I have needed. There have been areas of my life that no other therapist has ever touched on, let alone expanded on and dug deep to uncover the truth behind a lot of ongoing feelings and struggles. I highly recommend Gwennie to others and appreciate all that she has done for so far.
Gwennie has been such a huge help and I'm so pleased that she was assigned as my therapist. She's understanding, she listens and she helps to unravel things that you didn't know we're bothering you. I'm looking forward to continuing my journey with her
I started the therapy with Gwen during a very complicated time in my life and from the first moment she was able to give me a lot of comfort. She made sure to let me know it is important I will feel safe with whichever therapist I’m working with and I can always feel free to change therapist if I want but I didn’t, it feels like a perfect match. Gwen is patient, kind, professional and honest which is what I appreciate about her the most. I love the fact I feel comfortable to say whatever I want knowing I won’t be judged for it but also know that she will tell me the truth no matter what. I’ve been working with many different therapists is the pest and so glad to find one like Gwen. She’s golden!
