About Bethany

Bethany Sharpe works with grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes using a person-centred approach. She describes her way of working as providing a non-judgemental space where clients can take things at a pace that feels right. Bethany is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

She focuses on talking things through and developing understanding of feelings and patterns. Sessions typically centre on the person's experience, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify thoughts and emotions. Bethany also draws on techniques from other approaches when these fit the client's needs.

People come to her with grief, shifts in relationships, low mood and worries about self-worth. She also helps with attachment questions, body image, communication problems and the effects of separation or divorce. Practical concerns such as eating and food-related issues, parenting transitions like pregnancy and childbirth, and experiences of trauma are within her scope.

Bethany pays attention to how shame, guilt and isolation can affect day-to-day life. She works with issues of forgiveness, sexuality, life purpose and social anxiety. The sessions aim to increase clarity about feelings and to find manageable ways to cope.

Her practice is centred on conversational counselling rather than giving homework-heavy programmes. New clients begin by completing a short questionnaire to match with a counsellor and then arranging a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Bethany uses person-centred work in remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The counsellor listens actively, reflects what is said and helps the client make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for grief, low self-esteem, relationship and identity concerns.

She may also borrow practical techniques from other approaches when they suit the person’s needs. Those techniques are used alongside the person-centred way of working rather than replacing it. Deciding which methods to use happens together with the client, based on their goals and preferences.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often discuss practical arrangements at first contact to find a suitable match.
