About Bethany

Bethany Gribbon helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. They work with issues around self-esteem, relationships, family conflict and grief. Bethany also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, eating and intimacy-related concerns.

They take a non-judgemental, person-centred approach to create a welcoming space for talking things through. Bethany is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP. That means they follow the BACP Ethical Framework and take part in regular supervision.

Background and approach

Their practice is informed by six years of experience working with diverse people. Sessions focus on the person rather than labels. Bethany listens closely and tailors the work to what each individual needs.

Sometimes this involves reflecting feelings, sometimes gently offering new ways to think about a problem. They are comfortable discussing a wide range of concerns, including bipolar, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career questions and end-of-life issues. Bethany also works with themes such as kink and alternative sexual cultures, polyamory and gender dysphoria when these are part of someone’s story.

People can expect a collaborative process that aims to increase self-awareness and choice. Bethany will suggest other sources of help when that seems more suitable. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, chat or text messaging.

Sessions & fees

Person-centred approaches and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection to help people better understand their feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries and for exploring identity questions.

The focus is on tailoring the sessions to each person’s needs rather than following a strict procedure. The counsellor will work collaboratively to test what helps, including gentle challenges or new ways of thinking when appropriate. Together they decide what methods suit the client’s goals and comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel while fitting around daily life. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to reflect between sessions or communicate when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, study or caregiving routines and to keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
