Bethany Sharpe , BACP

Bethany Sharpe offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by loss, low mood, or relationship strain. She introduces herself simply and listens closely to what matters to each person. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.

Bethany uses a person-centred approach, which means she prioritises empathy, genuineness and acceptance during conversations. This helps people process grief, sort out intimacy and self-esteem concerns, and cope with major life changes. She also draws on other techniques when they suit the individual’s needs.

Her work covers a range of concerns including depression, mood disorders, attachment issues, body image and eating-related difficulties. She supports people dealing with divorce and separation, isolation and social anxiety, and those facing challenges around sexuality and pregnancy and childbirth.

With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Bethany brings a compassionate, steady presence to sessions. Her style is warm and straightforward rather than clinical. People who prefer talk-based, reflective counselling tend to find her approach helpful.

Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. She works with individuals who want to explore life direction, forgiveness, guilt and shame, or build stronger communication skills. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches and online therapy options

Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach she uses. It focuses on listening carefully, offering empathy and accepting each person without judgement. This style helps people who are grieving, feeling low, or struggling with self-worth to speak freely and discover their own solutions.

When other techniques may help, she draws on them to complement person-centred work. Those additions are used only to match a person’s needs, for example when someone wants practical ways to manage difficult moods or communication problems. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people work through thoughts in writing and fit therapy into a busy day.

The therapist will work with each person to choose the best format for their goals and circumstances, and adjust the approach as progress is made.
