About Lewis

Lewis Gains works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and relationship difficulties using a client-centred and psychodynamic approach. He is a BACP member with four years' experience and offers a calm, talk-based way of working. He uses discussion to help people notice patterns and make manageable changes.

He often begins by listening closely to what is happening now and what has led up to it. Client-Centred Therapy means the person’s concerns guide the pace and focus of sessions. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at recurring patterns, past influences and how these affect current feelings and relationships.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Lewis may reflect back what he hears, ask questions to help clarify worries, and explore feelings linked to past events. He does not push a single method; instead he adapts the way of working to what a person brings.

He also pays attention to culture and background when these matter to someone’s experiences. This can include looking at how cultural expectations or identity shape stress, self-esteem and relationships. Lewis aims to work respectfully with those elements in mind.

People come to him for support with career setbacks, coping with life changes, and managing symptoms of low mood or anxiety. He helps individuals talk through painful events such as trauma and abuse, and practical struggles like communication difficulties and grief.

How Lewis uses Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It involves open conversation, reflection and responding to the concerns named by the client, and can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship struggles.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences influence current feelings. It can help people understand why certain reactions happen and support work on long-standing issues such as trauma, grief and repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lewis will explore together which ideas and ways of working suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of having sessions remotely include fitting counselling around work and family commitments, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed.
