About Bethan
Bethan Heap helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, and the wear of life changes. She works with issues such as self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Her approach suits those who feel numb, exhausted, or unsure who they are right now.
Bethan describes therapy as a shared project. Sessions are calm and down-to-earth. She listens with curiosity and helps people notice what their body and feelings are saying as well as their thoughts.
How Bethan works
If words are hard, she sometimes uses simple expressive tools like metaphor or drawing to open a conversation. Her style mixes client-centred listening with emotional and body-focused work. Parts-based ideas are used too to help people understand conflicting inner voices.
Everything is shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed plan. Bethan trained at master's level in psychotherapy and counselling with contemporary creative approaches and also holds a BSc in Psychology. She is registered with NCPS which appears after her name.
Her experience includes three years working directly with people in the United Kingdom. People come to Bethan when they feel stuck between who they have had to be and who they want to become. In sessions she aims to slow things down, reduce pressure, and make difficult feelings easier to approach.
The work is collaborative - she sits alongside people as they notice, named and shift the things that weigh them down.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice how they seek closeness or pull away, and then practise different responses. Client-centred work gives the person space to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and listens. This helps people feel heard and develop their own sense of direction. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how emotions show up in the body, which can be explored through guided awareness and simple body-based exercises during sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bethan will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as people learn more about what helps them most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when demonstrations or body-awareness work help the process. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels hard. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
