About Bethany
Bethany Gribbon is a person-centred counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship challenges. They work with LGBTQI+ issues, gender identity concerns, eating and intimacy-related difficulties, and support people dealing with trauma, abuse and major life changes. Bethany aims to make therapy feel straightforward and approachable for worried parents and other adults.
They describe their practice as grounded in person-centred values, which means the client sits at the heart of sessions.
Background and approach
Bethany offers a calm, non-judgemental space and listens first to understand what matters to each person. Counselling is shaped around the individual rather than a fixed programme. In sessions Bethany may offer reflections, check out different ways of thinking, and gently challenge unhelpful patterns when it feels helpful.
The work often focuses on increasing self-awareness and personal choice so people can make clearer decisions in their lives. They also signpost to other services when those options seem better suited. They are a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which the biography notes involves regular supervision and ongoing professional development.
Bethany brings six years of practice to their work and says they have supported people from many backgrounds and age ranges. People who choose Bethany can expect collaborative conversations that aim to make therapy useful in everyday life. Topics are welcomed openly, and the approach is adapted to suit each person’s needs and goals.

How Bethany works online
Sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed script. The counsellor will work collaboratively to figure out which ways of working suit each person best, checking in about goals and adjusting the approach as therapy progresses. This is a shared process where priorities and preferences guide choices about pace and focus.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and cutting travel time so therapy can slot into school runs, work breaks or other routines. Online counselling can also make it easier to meet with a counsellor who practices in another part of the country. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods, and options can vary between practitioners.
