Bethany Fenton , BACP

Bethany Fenton is a counsellor who focuses on helping women navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. She uses a calm, listening-based style and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical. Bethany writes in a warm, accepting way and creates space for people to bring what matters to them. She is gender-affirming and LGBTQIA+ embracing, so conversations about gender and sexuality are welcome.

Bethany practices in the United Kingdom and brings four years of counselling experience to her work. She has also spent a year teaching counselling students, which she says has sharpened her listening and reflective skills. Bethany is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

In sessions she follows a person-centred approach. That means the client sets the pace and the topics. The counsellor role is to listen, reflect and offer gentle guidance rather than direct instructions. People often come to her about self-esteem, body image, feelings of isolation, and difficulties with intimacy or commitment.

She also supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, sexual assault and abuse, and questions around gender dysphoria or sexuality. Bethany will meet clients where they are and help them make sense of their feelings without judgement.

Therapy with Bethany is offered through a subscription model. Clients can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are then scheduled to suit the client’s needs.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy

Person-centred work focuses on giving the client control over the session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and creates a respectful space where the client can explore feelings. This approach is helpful for relationship worries, self-esteem problems and issues around identity or sexuality.

Humanistic techniques emphasise the whole person rather than a list of symptoms. They encourage self-understanding and personal growth over time, which can suit people dealing with life purpose, isolation or attachment concerns. The emphasis is on collaboration and accepting the client’s experience as the starting point.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide what methods fit best, based on their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative decision-making means plans can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support shorter reflections and regular check-ins between longer sessions. Together, these options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
