About Bethany

Bethany "Beth" Hunter is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She combines counselling qualifications with a postgraduate degree in psychology and an arts degree. Beth works with common young-adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem, career questions and depression.

Beth’s style is grounded and conversational. She aims to keep sessions informal and straightforward rather than task-driven. People who feel out of place in formal settings often find it easier to talk with her. Beth does not expect clients to have a neat agenda or tidy explanations when they arrive.

Some clients come with a single issue to work through. Others bring multiple threads that don’t yet make sense. Beth will listen, help make sense of patterns, and discuss coping strategies that feel realistic. She also works with experiences of trauma and abuse, abandonment, body-image concerns, and issues linked to chronic pain and illness.

Her work includes exploring control issues, dissociation, eating and food-related problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and thoughts linked to obsessions or compulsions. She also addresses issues around life purpose, jealousy, forgiveness, narcissism and seasonal affective disorder.

Beth offers remote appointments on set days each week and usually meets for 45-minute sessions; shorter appointments can be arranged. Sessions are arranged via an online subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.

How Client-Centred work shapes online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's pace. The therapist offers empathic, person-led conversation and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach is often useful for concerns like stress, relationship issues, anxiety and questions about life direction.

Beth aims to work collaboratively to find the best way forward. Early sessions are for getting to know each other, discussing goals, and deciding what style of work feels right. The therapist will check in and adapt the approach based on needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study, work and travel more easily, and removing the need to travel to in-person appointments. Online appointments can be scheduled on specific days to suit weekly routines, and session length can be adjusted when a shorter check-in is more manageable. Confirm the current session options before booking to be clear on which formats are offered.
