About Bethany

Bethany Gribbon works with stress, anxiety, relationship and identity concerns using a person-centred approach. They are a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and have six years' experience.

Bethany places the client at the centre of counselling. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of them, with space to talk about feelings, beliefs and behaviour. They may offer gentle challenges or alternative ways of thinking when this seems helpful, while keeping the pace set by the client.

They have supported people with depression, panic and anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around sexuality and gender identity. Work also includes relationship difficulties, communication problems, separation and divorce, and struggles linked to career or life changes.

Additional areas of focus include caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and concerns related to BDSM, kink and alternative sexual cultures. Bethany has experience with end-of-life and hospice matters, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and questions around polyamory and non-monogamous relationships.

They underline the importance of referring or signposting when another type of support would be more appropriate. Bethany has worked with a wide range of ages and backgrounds and aims to offer a non-judgemental, collaborative way of working.

To begin, people are invited to use the platform's matching process to select a counsellor and schedule a first session.

How Bethany adapts person-centred work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on placing the client at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation, reflects what is said and helps the client to explore feelings and choices. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, identity questions and emotional self-awareness.

Bethany may also introduce gentle challenges or suggest different ways of thinking when it seems appropriate. That can help with stuck patterns, communication problems and decisions around life changes, while keeping the client in control of pace and topics. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and will be agreed together as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. If you need to check which session types are available with Bethany, confirm the current options before booking. The therapist will work with you to choose an arrangement that fits your schedule, goals and preferences.
