About Lewis
Lewis Gains is a counsellor who practises with a person-centred outlook. He is a BACP member and aims to offer a calm space for people to talk about what matters to them. He writes plainly and listens carefully, helping people work through current stress or issues rooted in the past.
People come with different problems - anxiety, depression, grief, anger or trouble at work and in relationships. Lewis helps individuals unpack these concerns at a steady pace.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and what feels most useful in the moment. His approach is flexible rather than one rigid method. That means conversations can draw on deeper psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences affect today, alongside simple, practical ways to manage feelings and cope with life changes.
The style is conversational and collaborative rather than didactic. Lewis pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes identity and experience. He aims to make space for multicultural concerns and to notice how social context matters to wellbeing.
This includes helping people think about career stress, family pressures and self-esteem challenges. Sessions are offered in straightforward language. Lewis prefers to work as two adults talking things through, letting the pace be set by the person attending.
If someone wants to begin, he asks them to describe their goals so the work can be shaped around their needs.

Approaches Lewis lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that may come from earlier life experiences and how they show up now. This can help people understand repeated relationship problems, persistent low mood, or reactions that feel stuck and unexplained.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss aims and preferences, and adapt methods as the work develops. That means sessions can shift between listening-led client-centred work and deeper psychodynamic reflection as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in and text messaging allows shorter, ongoing contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping focus on the issues you want to address.
