Bethany GribbonBACP

Bethany Gribbon offers support for common and complex worries including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship struggles. They also help with issues linked to gender and sexuality, caregiving strain, identity questions, and pregnancy and childbirth. Bethany writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to create a non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them.

They use a person-centred approach, which means conversations focus on the person's own experience rather than fitting them to a method. Sessions are shaped around what the client most needs, with gentle challenges or different perspectives offered where helpful. This can mean looking at thoughts, feelings and patterns together to build self-awareness and personal choice.

Bethany is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which involves following the BACP Ethical Framework and taking part in regular supervision. They have around six years' experience working with people from many backgrounds and life stages.

The therapist aims to be practical and collaborative in sessions. If a concern would be better served by another service, Bethany will suggest appropriate routes and referrals. Their approach is straightforward: create a safe-feeling space, listen closely, and help people find clearer ways forward.

People who want a counsellor who listens, adapts to individual needs, and keeps things simple may find Bethany approachable. The focus is on building understanding and supporting steps towards change, at a pace that suits the client.

How Bethany's approach translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, offers empathic understanding, and follows the client's lead so work stays relevant to what the person wants to address. This approach suits worries about identity, relationships, anxiety and life transitions where being heard matters more than rigid techniques.

In sessions the therapist may gently reflect what they hear, offer different ways of viewing things, and check in about what feels most useful. That collaborative way of working means the therapeutic approach can shift as needs or goals change, and the client is involved in choosing how to proceed.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting counselling around daily life and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular sessions. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Registered or accredited professionals can help find an approach that matches each person's needs, and the therapist will work with the client to decide how best to meet their goals.
