About Bethany
Bethany Fenton is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and intimacy concerns. She supports people exploring self-esteem and sexuality matters, and offers a gender-affirming, LGBT-inclusive approach. Bethany uses short, direct sessions where the client sets the pace and topic.
Her practice treats each person as the expert on their life. Bethany listens without judgement and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions aim to create space for honest reflection and clearer choices about next steps.
Background and approach
Bethany has four years' experience working with clients and one year teaching counselling students. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. This reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom.
She works with a wide range of concerns connected to relationships and identity. These include attachment and abandonment worries, communication and commitment issues, and challenges around intimacy and sexual wellbeing. Bethany also helps with body image, isolation and finding life purpose.
Her practice is welcoming to people exploring gender dysphoria, polyamory or non-monogamous relationships, and those affected by sexual assault and abuse. Sessions are straightforward and paced by the client. Bethany offers therapy in English and does not take international clients.

Sessions & fees
Person-centred ways of working online
Person-centred counselling places you at the centre of the session. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name what matters and reflects back what she hears. This approach suits people who want a space to explore identity, relationships and personal values without being pushed in a set direction.Alongside that, Bethany emphasises affirming practice for LGBT people and those exploring gender. That means she works to understand each person's unique experience and offers acceptance while you talk through identity and intimacy concerns. This style can help when dealing with gender dysphoria, relationship choices or sexuality questions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bethany will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful for you, adjusting her way of working to match your goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of talking and checking what helps.
Online therapy with her can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful when visual connection matters while phone calls need less bandwidth. Live chat and messages can be shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These formats offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, caring responsibilities and different routines.
