About Bethan

Bethan Heap is a psychotherapist who focuses on anxiety, stress and the many life changes that leave people feeling stuck. She aims to understand each person’s world without judgement and sits alongside them as they make sense of difficult feelings. Her approach is gentle and curious rather than directive, so clients are invited to explore what is happening at their own pace.

Bethan slows things down in sessions and pays attention to both thoughts and the body.

Background and approach

She uses talking together, somatic awareness and occasional creative tools like metaphor or drawing when words are hard to find. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, feel what’s under the surface, and begin to reconnect with parts of themselves that have been quieted or pushed away.

Her work often supports people who feel emotionally overwhelmed, numb, exhausted by performing being fine, or unsure of who they are right now. She notices repeated relationship patterns, low mood, drops in confidence, and the strain of big life transitions. People do not need a perfect explanation to begin - a simple feeling of “something’s off” is enough.

Bethan trained with a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Contemporary Creative Approaches and holds a BSc in Psychology. She is registered as a psychotherapist with NCPS. Bethan has three years of professional experience working with a range of emotional and relational concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy is collaborative: she helps people figure out what feels most useful and adapts methods to each person rather than following a fixed plan.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions help people notice repeating patterns in close relationships and try out new ways of relating in real time. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering an accepting, non-judgemental space to speak and be heard; this approach suits people who need a calm place to make sense of feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at core emotions and how they show up in relationships, and can help when someone feels stuck in cycles of anxiety, withdrawal or repeating conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose and adapt methods so the sessions fit the person rather than following a rigid plan. This is presented as a collaborative process where adjustments are made as understanding grows.

Online therapy with Bethan offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging make short check-ins and written reflection possible. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and to continue momentum between sessions when needed.
