Bethany Gribbon

Bethany Gribbon is a person-centred counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and feelings of isolation and loneliness. They work with issues around relationships, identity, grief and life changes. Bethany aims to make sessions feel welcoming and non-judgemental so people can speak honestly about what’s worrying them.

Bethany is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means they work to the BACP Ethical Framework, have regular supervision and commit to ongoing professional development. Bethany brings six years of experience to each conversation.

Their style places the client at the centre. Sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what is said and helping people notice patterns in feelings, thoughts and behaviours. Where helpful, Bethany may offer gentle challenges or alternative ways of thinking to support new perspectives.

People come to Bethany for a wide range of concerns, including trauma, domestic abuse, grief, eating difficulties, bipolar and depression, as well as questions about gender, sexuality and kink culture. They also support those facing career changes, caregiving stress, intimacy issues and the strain of family conflict.

Bethany aims to work collaboratively so people leave counselling with greater self-awareness and clearer choices. If an issue would be better handled elsewhere, they will signpost to other services and resources.

Client-centred care and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person seeking help at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and aims to create an accepting space for people to speak about difficult feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-worth, relationship concerns and feelings of isolation.

Because the work is collaborative, the counsellor checks in about what’s helpful and adapts how they respond. Finding the right style of counselling is part of the process, and the therapist will work with the client to choose approaches and pacing that match their goals and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower-bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who follow recognised ethical frameworks, generally aim to help clients get the same kinds of therapeutic benefits online as they would in person.
