About Lewis
Lewis Gains is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can bring current problems or issues rooted in the past and talk them through at their own pace.
Lewis uses a client-centred stance at the heart of his work. That means sessions focus on the person and what matters to them. He builds conversations around the individual’s priorities and aims, rather than following a fixed script.
He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns and feelings that may come from earlier experiences. Together these approaches can help people make sense of repeated reactions, improve self-esteem, and manage stress and anxiety.
Typical concerns Lewis works with include stress, anxiety, grief, anger and depression. He also supports people dealing with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, career decisions, life changes and multicultural concerns. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people find ways of coping that fit their everyday life.
With four years of practice, Lewis frames therapy as a collaborative process. He encourages people to set goals and to move at a pace they feel comfortable with. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy pathway and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a time to meet.
How client-centred and psychodynamic work translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. It focuses on empathetic listening, reflecting what the person says, and helping them uncover their own answers to problems such as low self-esteem, anxiety or relationship concerns.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns in feelings and behaviour that may come from earlier experiences. It can help people notice repeated reactions, understand hidden emotions, and bring more clarity to struggles like grief, anger or long-standing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to decide whether a more person-centred path, psychodynamic exploration, or a blend of both feels best. Clients shape the pace and focus based on their needs and goals.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life and the ability to attend without travelling. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy workable within daily routines rather than on a particular delivery method.
