About Bethany

Bethany Fenton is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and questions about life purpose. She also supports concerns around self-esteem, gender dysphoria and sexuality. Bethany describes her approach as person-centred, which means the client sets the pace and agenda in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on listening without judgement. Sessions are intended to let people talk through what matters to them and how they feel. Her practice is gender-affirming and welcoming of LGBT people. She makes room for topics such as attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment issues, and the emotional impact of sexual assault and abuse. She also works with people navigating non-monogamous relationships and problems with intimacy or sexual function. Bethany has four years' direct counselling experience and has spent a year teaching counselling students. That mix of practice and teaching informs how she explains ideas and checks understanding in a clear way. She aims to help clients name what feels stuck and to consider new ways of responding. People who come for help with life purpose often begin by talking about work, relationships or a recent change. Bethany supports those conversations over time, keeping the client in charge of goals and pace. If you want to try a session, follow the site's booking steps to see the available options.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Person-centred work focuses on letting the client lead the conversation and deciding what matters most. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully and reflects what she hears, helping people name feelings and consider different responses. This approach suits people who need time to find their own direction after a change or a period of uncertainty.

Humanistic techniques emphasise the whole person rather than specific symptoms. The counsellor encourages honest, direct conversation about relationships, identity and life purpose. That can help when someone is questioning career direction, intimacy, or their sense of self after a transition.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each client and make decisions together based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor how sessions feel and what is prioritised without imposing a fixed method.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Ask about the session length and any tools used so you can decide what fits your routine and attention span.
