Bethany Gribbon, BACP

Bethany Gribbon is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Membership of the BACP indicates a commitment to the organisation's Ethical Framework, regular professional supervision, and ongoing professional development, which informs Bethany's practice.

Bethany places the client at the heart of the therapeutic process, creating a welcoming, non-judgemental space for exploration. The counselling style is rooted in client-centred principles while being tailored to each individual. Where helpful, Bethany may introduce tentative challenges, offer alternative perspectives, or explore different ways of thinking to encourage inward reflection and greater self-awareness.

Working collaboratively and with empathy, Bethany aims to support increased autonomy and clearer decision making. Over six years of practice have included work with people across a wide age range - from teenagers to those post-retirement - and with varied cultural, ethnic, gender, and sexual identities. Bethany has supported clients through concerns such as depression, anxiety and panic, grief, domestic abuse, rape, historical childhood trauma, family difficulties, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Bethany has also worked with people navigating sexuality, gender identity, and issues of self-worth within LGBTQI+ contexts.

All topics may be explored in therapy and Bethany will signpost to other services when that appears to be in a client's best interest. Bethany identifies as non-binary and welcomes a diverse range of clients.
