Bethany Gribbon , BACP

Bethany Gribbon is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work, creating an open, empathetic environment where people can explore feelings, beliefs and behaviours without judgement. Bethany adapts the person-centred values to each individual, offering a welcoming space while tailoring interventions to suit a client’s needs. This may include gently exploring alternative ways of thinking, tentative challenges to fixed outlooks, and collaborative hypothesis building to encourage inward reflection and greater self-awareness.

Over six years, Bethany has worked with a wide and diverse range of people - from teenagers to those post-retirement - across different cultural backgrounds, genders and sexual identities. She has experience supporting clients with anxiety, panic, depression, grief, health-related worries, family issues, domestic abuse, sexual assault and historical childhood trauma. Bethany has also supported individuals through relationship difficulties, life transitions such as career or location changes, and matters relating to sexuality, gender identity and self-worth.

As a BACP member Bethany follows the association’s Ethical Framework, undertakes regular supervision and is committed to ongoing professional development. Bethany identifies as non-binary. Bethany is not currently accepting clients.

Client-Centred Support Delivered Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of the work and focuses on empathy, acceptance and genuine engagement. In this approach the therapist listens closely, mirrors understanding, and helps people build their own insights and choices; it is well suited to issues like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and questions of identity.

Alongside core person-centred principles Bethany adapts her work to the individual by offering exploratory and reflective interventions when helpful. This can involve gently examining alternative ways of thinking, making tentative observations about patterns, and working collaboratively to consider new perspectives when the client is ready.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Bethany works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists bring clinical experience to guide that decision together with the client.

Online therapy by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to reach support from wherever someone is located. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, accessibility for different needs, and multiple ways to connect so that people can engage in therapy in the format that works best for them.
