Bethan Heap
Calm, curious therapy for life’s hard moments
About Bethan
Bethan Heap helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports those facing relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and parenting challenges. People also come to her for issues like ADHD, intimacy worries, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue.
Bethan works in a warm, down-to-earth way. She sits beside people with curiosity rather than telling them what to do. Sessions move at a gentle pace and make space for feelings that are hard to name.
Background and approach
She often pays attention to what the body is doing as well as the thoughts that keep repeating. Her sessions can include talking, simple expressive activities and practical ways to notice patterns. If words are hard, she may invite metaphor or drawing to help make sense of an inner experience.
The aim is to find small, useful shifts rather than quick fixes. Bethan trained at master's level in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Contemporary Creative Approaches and also holds a BSc in Psychology. Her NCPS credential is listed as NCPS and indicates registration as a psychotherapist in the UK.
She describes her style as grounded, collaborative and occasionally playful when that helps create breath. Work with her focuses on getting to know the different parts of yourself so they stop pulling in different directions. Many people begin therapy simply with a feeling that something is off; that is a good place to start here.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence feelings and behaviour today. Online work with this approach helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, and can be useful for relationship patterns, abandonment fears and attachment wounds.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers non-judgemental presence and reflective listening so people can make sense of their experience at their own pace. This approach suits low mood, self-esteem concerns and times of life transition.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will listen to goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then suggest ways of working that fit. That collaborative step can be revisited as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when visual cues matter. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins, writing out thoughts or keeping a running conversation between sessions. These options make it easier to weave therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above.
