Bethany Fenton offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure about relationships and identity. She greets each person with simple openness and listens without rushing. Bethany uses a person-centred approach that lets the client set the pace and decide what matters most in sessions.

Her way of working puts the person in charge of the conversation. The therapist reflects what she hears, asks gentle questions, and helps the client notice feelings and choices.

Background and approach

No topic is dismissed as too small if it affects daily life or wellbeing. Bethany has four years of clinical experience and has also spent a year teaching counselling students. That mix of practice and teaching informs a clear, down-to-earth style in the room.

Her practice is gender-affirming and welcoming to people from LGBTQIA+ communities. She commonly helps with stress and anxiety, concerns about intimacy and relationships, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Other areas she supports include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, sexuality, and navigating non-monogamous relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and run online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Bethany works with each person to shape goals and decide what progress looks like, matching the rhythm of the individual rather than pushing a fixed plan.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s agenda. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, gently checks understanding, and helps the client notice feelings and choices. This approach suits worries about anxiety, self-esteem, identity and relationship concerns.

Another useful approach is gender-affirming practice, which makes space for exploring gender, sexuality and related experiences without judgement. This helps people work through questions about identity, gender dysphoria, or sexual and intimacy-related issues at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences together and adapt methods to what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps shape each session and the overall plan rather than imposing a single technique.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use facial cues and tone, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions, or for those who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity over time.
