About Lewis

Lewis Gains is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a calm, straightforward space where people can talk about recent problems or issues that have a longer history. Sessions are set up as conversations between two adults and move at a pace that suits the client.

Lewis draws on Client-Centred and psychodynamic approaches and adapts how he works to each person.

Background and approach

That means he listens first, then chooses ways of working that fit what the person wants to change. The focus is on understanding feelings, patterns, and how past experiences affect day-to-day life. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression.

He also helps with anger, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. Lewis also pays attention to multicultural concerns and how culture shapes experience. Sessions are conversational and practical.

Lewis helps people name what matters, notice patterns, and try different ways of responding. Work can include exploring difficult memories, reflecting on current relationships, or building everyday coping strategies. People meet Lewis online using video, phone, chat, or messaging.

He has four years of experience and works from the United Kingdom. If someone prefers a steady, listening-led approach that adapts to their needs, Lewis aims to make that possible.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Lewis blends therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves careful listening, reflecting back what is heard and following the client's lead. This approach helps when someone needs a non-directive space to understand feelings and make decisions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat in life and where they might have come from. It pays attention to past experiences and recurring relationships to help people see why they react in certain ways. This can be useful for longer-standing problems or when feelings seem connected to earlier events.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Lewis will discuss goals and preferences and then choose ways of working together. That means sessions may mix listening-led conversations with deeper exploration of history or practical strategies, depending on what the client needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling flexible. Video is good for visual connection and fuller conversations. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, quick reflections or people who find typing easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
