About Bethany
Bethany Gribbon is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and works with a wide range of relationship, identity and trauma-related concerns. She also lists experience with ADHD, bipolar, grief and issues connected to sexuality and gender identity.
Her counselling style is person-centred. That means she places the client at the centre of sessions and pays close attention to what matters to each individual. She uses listening and reflection as core tools and will sometimes offer tentative challenges or alternative ways of thinking when it seems helpful.
In sessions she focuses on exploring feelings, beliefs and behaviours to increase self-awareness and autonomy. She is prepared to discuss difficult topics including abuse, historical trauma, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also works with questions around kink, BDSM and non-traditional sexual cultures when these arise.
She has worked with people from diverse cultural and gender backgrounds and mentions experience across a broad age range. Bethany follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and takes regular supervision as part of her practice.
Bethany aims to be direct and collaborative in sessions. Where matters fall outside her remit she will signpost to other services or supports. People are encouraged to look at several counsellors and choose who feels like the best fit.
How her person-centred approach works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on respectful listening and reflection. The counsellor pays attention to the individual’s experience and encourages people to find their own answers. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress and questions about identity.In practice Bethany will listen closely and work collaboratively to identify what feels most important. Together they will try different ways of looking at problems and decide which methods to use. Choosing or adjusting an approach is part of the work rather than a one-time decision.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer sessions that fit around daily life, and Bethany will discuss what timing and session length suit practical commitments during your first meeting.
