About Bethany

Bethany Fenton is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem. She welcomes people exploring gender and sexuality and offers a gender-affirming, LGBTQIA+ embracing approach. Bethany uses a gentle, person-centred way of working so clients set the pace and the topics for each session.

Her practice puts the person and their experience at the centre of therapy. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through feelings and situations that are causing them distress.

Background and approach

Bethany makes space for small worries as well as big ones, recognising that anything affecting daily life is worth discussing. Bethany has four years' experience working with clients and she has spent a year teaching counselling students. That background gives her familiarity with common relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy.

Sessions address a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, communication and control issues, family problems, and questions about sexuality and gender dysphoria. She also supports people navigating non-monogamous relationships, isolation and questions about life purpose and self-love. Work in therapy tends to be collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Bethany listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own clarity and next steps. Her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework, listed as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are available via a mix of online formats to fit different needs.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy

Person-centred work focuses on what the individual wants to bring to sessions. It involves active listening, reflection, and pacing the conversation to the client's needs. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and questions about identity by creating space for people to explore their feelings and choices.

Another helpful approach is humanistic counselling, which emphasises personal experience and the individual's capacity to find direction. It supports work on self-esteem, life purpose, body image and healing after sexual trauma by encouraging self-awareness and gentle exploration of values and goals.

Deciding which way of working suits someone is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt approaches based on their needs, goals and preferences. This makes sessions more relevant and tailored as work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual contact helps connection and nuance matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow flexible exchanges across the week and can suit people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments, and support continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
