Noeleen Beedle, BACP

Noeleen Beedle is a therapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She brings 26 years of professional experience working with people from many walks of life, including those who have experienced homelessness, people with criminal justice backgrounds, older adults, families, and individuals living with mental health challenges. Her background includes both frontline, hands-on support for vulnerable people and roles managing services and staff teams within charities and public services.

Noeleen has a particular interest in enabling autistic people and those with ADHD to access therapy, and she has practical experience supporting neurodiverse clients. Over many years she has helped people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. She is especially committed to supporting people through the peri-menopause transition, recognising this time can be difficult for many women and for some men.

Noeleen’s therapeutic stance places the client at the centre of the work - she aims to create an environment where people feel supported and can choose how they wish to be helped. Some clients prefer to speak freely, while others welcome questions to guide exploration; she can offer tools and strategies when wanted, but the client decides what feels most helpful. This is the client’s time, and Noeleen is available to begin work when the client is ready.

Clients from her private practice have provided testimonials with permission to share altered names, noting the impact of empathetic listening and the practical progress they achieved during counselling.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and support while encouraging self-exploration - this approach can be helpful for relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem issues, and situations where the client wants a collaborative, respectful space to be heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical techniques to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Sessions often include goal-setting and skills practice, which can support work on anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and non-judgemental attention to thoughts and feelings. Simple mindfulness practices can help reduce reactivity to stress, improve emotion regulation, and support wellbeing alongside other therapies.

Noeleen works collaboratively with each person to find the best therapeutic approach for their needs, goals, and preferences. Determining the right mix of methods is part of the process, and she will support clients in testing and adjusting approaches over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt their methods to work effectively through these formats, helping clients make progress in a way that suits their life.
