About Lewis Gains

Lewis Gains is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom and a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. With four years of experience, he supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, career questions, family issues, and broader coping with life changes, including multicultural concerns.

Lewis describes an integrative working style that avoids a one-size-fits-all approach. He adapts methods and tools to suit what each person brings to sessions, matching the way of working to the individual’s needs and goals. Whether challenges have a long history or are happening in the present, he offers a space to bring those concerns and to explore them collaboratively.

Sessions are offered as a simple, conversational space between two adults where pace and focus are guided by the client. There is an emphasis on nonjudgemental listening and on helping people find their own ways to meet their objectives. For anyone considering therapy, Lewis aims to create an inviting starting point to begin that journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Lewis uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the person’s own perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathic listening and helping individuals explore their feelings and choices, which can be helpful for stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

He also draws on psychodynamic therapy to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns can influence current feelings and behaviours. This way of working can assist in making sense of repeated difficulties, deeper emotional responses, or relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lewis works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the way of working as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access support from home or while balancing work and family life, and they allow registered professionals and therapists to maintain a steady course of care across sessions.
