About Bethany
Bethany Gribbon is a counsellor who commonly helps with stress and anxiety. They create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Bethany is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and brings six years of experience to their work.
They practise person-centred counselling, which means sessions start from the client's experience and needs. Bethany listens closely and adapts the conversation to what feels most helpful.
Background and approach
They may gently suggest different ways of thinking or offer tentative challenges when that seems useful. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and clearer choices. Bethany aims to help people understand patterns in their feelings, beliefs and behaviour.
Practical talk about coping with life changes, relationship concerns, grief, anger, or work stress is common. They have worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and with many issues, including trauma and abuse, depression, panic, eating concerns, ADHD, and questions about gender and sexuality.
Additional areas covered include kink and alternative sex culture, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, caregiver stress, and end-of-life matters. Bethany will signpost to other services when that is in a person's best interest. The emphasis is on collaboration - helping each person find the ways of working that suit them best.
How person-centred counselling works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on a warm, accepting relationship where the person's own experience leads the work. Online sessions follow the same idea - the counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person make sense of their feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, identity questions and relationship concerns by encouraging self-understanding and clearer choices.Bethany adapts the person-centred method to each individual. They tailor pacing, questions and occasional gentle challenges to what feels right for the person. Choosing the best way of working is collaborative; the counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the approach over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face style conversation helps, while phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and other commitments, and allow people in different locations across the United Kingdom to connect with therapists and registered or accredited professionals.
