Bethany Fenton, BACP

Bethany Fenton (she/her) is a qualified person-centred therapist who works from a humanistic perspective, placing the client at the centre of the therapeutic process. She draws on four years of clinical experience and a further year teaching counselling students to support people through a range of concerns. Her practice emphasizes that the individual sets the pace and the agenda, because the client is the expert on their own life and lived experience.

In sessions Bethany aims to offer an atmosphere that is free of judgement and grounded in understanding, where people can explore their feelings and what matters to them. She welcomes all topics, believing that if something is affecting someone then it is important to address, and nothing is too small to bring to therapy.

Bethany describes her work as gender-affirming and LGBTQIA+ embracing and seeks to provide an inclusive environment for diverse identities and relationship styles. She holds the BACP credential, a professional counselling membership, and brings a compassionate, person-centred approach to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and concerns about self-esteem and identity.

Person-centred care and online therapeutic options

Person-centred therapy places the client at the centre of the work and focuses on empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. This approach helps people explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and move at a pace that feels right for them. Bethany uses this humanistic method to support work on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and self-esteem.

Alongside a person-centred foundation, Bethany integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual. These practical methods are selected to address presenting concerns and to help develop coping strategies, improve communication, and strengthen emotional regulation. The focus is on approaches that fit the client’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bethany works with clients to clarify goals, review what feels helpful, and adjust the techniques used as therapy progresses. Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to attend from locations that suit them and to choose formats that match their comfort and lifestyle. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to make online work effective and responsive to each client’s preferences.
