Bethany Fenton, BACP

Bethany Fenton is a person-centred counsellor who aims to make talking about difficult feelings easier. She works in a way that lets each person set the pace and choose what matters most. Beth believes people know their lives best and creates a non-judgemental space to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship doubts, sexual difficulties and issues around identity. Her approach is drawn from humanistic, person-centred practice, so sessions follow the client's lead. Beth listens closely and reflects what she hears to help people notice patterns and make choices that feel right for them. She says nothing is too small to bring to therapy if it matters to the person sitting in front of her. Beth has four years' experience working directly with clients and spent a year teaching counselling students. Her practice is gender-affirming and welcoming to people across the LGBT spectrum. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and wider sexuality questions. She also supports people dealing with body image, attachment or abandonment worries, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse. People who choose Beth can expect calm, steady listening and help to clarify what they want to change. She works to support clearer communication, stronger self-regard and practical steps towards feeling more settled in relationships and in life.

How Beth uses person-centred ways of working online

Person-centred work places the client in charge of the session. The counsellor listens without judging, reflects back what they hear and offers a calm space to think aloud. This approach helps with stress, anxiety, intimacy issues and questions about sexuality because it focuses on what matters most to the person. Humanistic techniques aim to recognise people as whole individuals. That means looking at feelings, values and relationships, not just symptoms. For many issues such as attachment concerns and self-esteem, this style helps people build clearer self-understanding and stronger personal choices. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and decide together what feels most useful. That collaborative process means practical adjustments can be made as therapy unfolds based on the client's needs and goals. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful for people who prefer talking from a familiar setting or who need shorter, more frequent conversations to manage ongoing stress.
