About Bethany

Bethany Fenton works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to self-esteem and LGBT matters. She describes her practice as Person-Centred and follows a humanistic approach where the client sets the pace and agenda. Bethany is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

In sessions Bethany asks open questions and listens without judgement, helping people talk through what matters to them. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and helps them find their own answers rather than giving directives. Therapy focuses on everyday feelings and situations that are causing distress, whether that is worries about identity, difficulties with intimacy, or persistent anxiety.

She brings practical attention to communication and relationship patterns, including commitment issues, attachment and control concerns. Bethany also addresses topics such as body image, sexual wellbeing, gender dysphoria, and coping after sexual assault or abuse. She works with questions about polyamory and non-monogamous relationships where relevant.

Her background includes four years of client work and one year teaching counselling students. The BACP membership is recorded as BACP, which represents a professional counselling body. Bethany offers a gender-affirming and LGBT-welcoming practice for people exploring identity and sexuality.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients at present. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a reader is asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.

How person-centred work and online sessions fit together

Person-Centred counselling focuses on the individual's experience and follows the pace set by the person in the room. It involves open listening, reflective questions, and supporting someone to make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for issues such as anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and questions around gender and sexuality.

Humanistic practice treats the client as the expert on their own life and seeks to understand their perspective. In a collaborative way, the counsellor and client decide what to focus on and how to measure progress. This makes it easier to try different ways of working and to adapt the process as needs change.

Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around work or family commitments. Practical arrangements for sessions are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current session formats before booking. The therapist will discuss how long sessions should be, how often to meet, and any practical preferences during the initial planning conversation.
