Bethany Fenton

Bethany Fenton is a person-centred counsellor who aims to help people feeling isolated or struggling with loneliness. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem. Bethany presents a calm, non-judgemental approach and invites clients to set the pace and the topics for each session.

Her practice puts the client’s experience at the centre. Sessions are guided by whatever feels most important to the person in front of her. Bethany says nothing is too small to bring to counselling if it is affecting someone’s daily life or sense of self.

Bethany has four years of clinical experience and spent a year teaching counselling students. That background shapes a straightforward, reflective way of working in which the therapist listens, mirrors what is shared, and helps the person notice patterns and choices.

She describes her work as gender-affirming and LGBT embracing, so conversations about gender identity and sexuality are approached without judgement. Bethany also regularly supports people with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication and commitment challenges, and issues linked to sexual difficulty or past sexual abuse.

Sessions focus on what the client wants to explore next and on practical steps they can try between meetings. People choosing Bethany can expect honest, compassionate listening and a steady, person-led process to address loneliness, relationships and self-worth.

Person-centred ways of working and online therapy

Person-centred counselling places the client’s experience first. In this way of working the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s pace and priorities. It is helpful for people who want time and space to make sense of feelings like loneliness or anxiety without being led by a strict agenda.

Bethany’s practice is described as gender-affirming and LGBT embracing, which means conversations about gender identity, sexuality and relationship styles are treated with respect and without judgement. That approach can make it easier to talk openly about intimacy, sexual concerns or non-monogamous relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bethany will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions to the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than impose a fixed method. Together the client and counsellor work out what to try and when to review progress.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as they are not listed here. Online options can make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family life and daily routines. They also allow people to join sessions from different locations, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier to manage. Registered or accredited professionals can help match a practical format to a client’s circumstances.
