About Bethany
BACP. Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Six years' experience. Bethany Gribbon works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar and questions around gender and sexuality. They describe their practice as person-centred and place the client's experience at the heart of sessions.
Bethany uses the values of person-centred counselling to create an inviting space for discussion. They may also offer tentative challenges to thought patterns and suggest alternative ways of thinking when this seems helpful. That mix aims to increase self-awareness and allow people to make choices with greater clarity.
Sessions include practical conversation about feelings, beliefs and behaviours. Bethany says they will signpost to other services when a different kind of support is more appropriate. The biography notes work with people facing relationship difficulties, life changes such as moving or career shifts, and issues linked to gender identity and sexuality.
They have experience across a broad range of backgrounds and age ranges, from teens to post-retirement, and highlight work with clients affected by domestic abuse, historical childhood trauma, grief, and health-related worries. Additional focus areas listed include BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, caregiver stress, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and end-of-life concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Bethany works from the United Kingdom. The biography emphasises adherence to the BACP Ethical Framework, regular supervision and ongoing professional development.
How client-centred approaches work in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client's lead to help people clarify feelings and choices. This approach is often used for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship questions and navigating life changes.Where useful, the counsellor may also introduce gentle challenges to unhelpful thought patterns. These tentative interventions are offered alongside person-centred listening and can help with anxiety, depressive thinking and relationship patterns by encouraging different ways of thinking and responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will help decide what fits best based on the client's needs, goals and preferences, and will suggest other services if something else seems more appropriate. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Practical benefits of counselling delivered remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments. Before booking, check which session formats Bethany currently offers, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions helpful for consistent check-ins and continuity of care.
