Bethany Gribbon

Bethany Gribbon is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. They also support those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, identity concerns and the practical strains of caregiving. Bethany works from a person-centred perspective and aims to make the counselling space welcoming and non-judgemental.

They are a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which means they follow the BACP Ethical Framework and take part in regular supervision and professional development. Bethany adapts their approach to fit each person they see and encourages people to look inward at thoughts and feelings when that feels helpful.

Sessions are conversational and guided by the person’s priorities. Bethany may tentatively question unhelpful assumptions, offer alternative ways of thinking, or gently challenge viewpoints when it seems useful. The aim is to increase self-awareness and support more confident personal choices.

Bethany has six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, depression, panic, domestic violence, eating difficulties, and hospice and end-of-life counselling. They have worked with varied ages and backgrounds and welcome people from diverse gender and sexual identities.

They are open about referring people on when other services are a better fit. Bethany wants people to leave counselling with practical understanding and clearer next steps for everyday life.

How person-centred counselling translates online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. This approach helps when someone is processing grief, relationship difficulties, stress or identity questions by emphasising understanding, empathy and the person’s own goals.

The counsellor tailors the way they work to fit the individual. That may mean listening deeply, offering reflections that clarify feelings, or gently checking alternative perspectives when helpful. This collaborative approach helps people discover what matters to them and build stronger self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will help decide what methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the way sessions run as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins that suit a busy schedule. Some formats can also be helpful when someone prefers shorter or audio-only conversations, or needs an option that uses less bandwidth.
