Bethany Fenton , BACP

Bethany Fenton (she/her) is a qualified person-centred therapist who practices from a humanistic perspective. She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and experiences, and she structures sessions so that individuals set the pace and agenda. Her role is to offer a nonjudgmental, understanding space where people can explore what matters most to them and how they feel. She makes clear that nothing is too small to bring to therapy if it is affecting someone.

With four years of experience working directly with clients and one year teaching counselling students, Bethany supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and matters related to gender and sexuality. Her practice is gender-affirming and LGBTQIA+ embracing, and she works with issues including attachment and abandonment, body image, sexual trauma, commitment and communication problems, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Bethany holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional membership that reflects training and adherence to recognised standards in counselling practice. She applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques within a person-centred framework to help individuals explore their priorities, build understanding, and move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Person-centred and attachment-informed online support

Bethany uses a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening deeply, following the client's lead, and creating space for self-discovery. This approach helps people who want to explore feelings about identity, relationships, and life purpose without a prescribed agenda.

She also works in an attachment-informed way, attending to patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, intimacy, and feelings of abandonment or isolation. Attachment-focused work can be useful for clients dealing with commitment, trust, or recurring relationship themes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. Bethany will work with each person to identify which techniques and pacing feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the work as understanding grows.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from therapists without travel, allowing people to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life.
