Bethany Gribbon helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. They support those facing relationship strains, identity and self-esteem concerns, grief, trauma and abuse. Bethany also offers help with career worries, ADHD-related struggles, and issues around intimacy, eating and anger.
Bethany uses a person-centred approach and places the client at the centre of the work. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and empathetic so people can talk openly about whatever is on their mind.
Background and approach
The counsellor adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs rather than following a rigid plan. In practice Bethany will listen first and then offer reflections, tentative challenges and different ways of looking at matters when that feels helpful. This can encourage greater self-awareness and clearer decision-making.
The style is collaborative and respectful, with the person’s own goals guiding the work. Over six years of practice Bethany has worked with a wide range of concerns including family issues, domestic violence, bereavement, gender identity and sexuality questions, and life transitions such as pregnancy, childbirth and bereavement. The counsellor also has experience supporting people exploring kink, BDSM and non-monogamous relationships.
Bethany is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). They offer sessions from the United Kingdom in English and will signpost to other services when that seems most helpful.
Person-centred care and online access
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and person. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and follows the person’s pace. This approach suits people who need time and space to explore feelings, identity and life decisions.In practice the counsellor adapts the person-centred method to the issue at hand. For example, when working with anxiety or grief they may offer reflective listening and occasional gentle challenges to help shift unhelpful patterns. For identity or relationship topics the emphasis is on creating an accepting space to talk things through and identify next steps.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree how to proceed. They will check in regularly and adjust methods as needs change, so the work stays useful and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, while chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments.
