About Bethany
Counsellor Bethany Gribbon is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years' experience. They work with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues, and also support people dealing with trauma, grief, gender and sexuality concerns, and life changes.
Bethany uses a person-centred approach. Sessions focus on the person rather than labels. They aim to listen without judgement and to help people reflect on their feelings and choices.
In practice, Bethany offers a straightforward way of working. They explore what matters most to the client and follow the client’s lead. Where helpful, Bethany may gently challenge unhelpful thinking or offer alternative perspectives to encourage reflection.
Clients have been supported with a wide range of difficulties, including panic, historical childhood trauma, domestic abuse, relationship breakdown, grief and workplace stress. Bethany has experience with people across many ages and backgrounds, and with issues linked to sexuality and gender identity.
Bethany explains that they follow the BACP Ethical Framework and take regular supervision. They also signpost to additional services when a different kind of help would be more appropriate.
People who choose Bethany can expect short, direct sessions that aim to increase self-awareness and aid decision-making. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats and scheduling details.
How Bethany uses person-centred work online
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's agenda. The counsellor offers reflection and understanding, and helps the client make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits people facing anxiety, relationship problems, grief and identity questions.Bethany may also use gentle questioning and tentative challenges when these help a client see alternative viewpoints. These methods are used to encourage self-reflection and greater clarity about next steps rather than to push a set outcome.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bethany will discuss what feels most helpful and will adapt the way they work to match the client's needs and preferences. This is done together, with decisions made by the client and the counsellor in conversation.
The practical benefits of online counselling depend on the formats offered. The profile does not list specific session types, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to continue therapy when life brings relocation or change. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session formats they provide and help choose what fits best.
