About Bethany
Bethany Macintyre is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings four years of professional experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. Bethany focuses on practical support for life changes and the effects of trauma and abuse.
She works from the belief that each person knows their story best. Sessions aim to build on the client’s strengths and choices rather than imposing answers.
How Bethany works
Bethany offers steady, non-judgemental support while people explore what matters most to them. Her approach is calm and person-centred. Conversations are guided by the client’s pace, with the therapist helping to name difficulties and try new ways of coping.
This can include looking at how attachment, abandonment or codependency affect relationships and daily life. People come with a wide range of concerns, from low self-esteem and guilt to impulsivity, addiction and isolation. Bethany also helps with communication problems, forgiveness work, and finding purpose after life transitions.
Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase practical options for moving forward. She communicates in English and accepts clients internationally. New clients follow a simple matching process to begin, and sessions are available in multiple online formats to suit different needs and routines.

How Client-Centred Therapy adapts to online care
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and following the client’s lead. In online sessions this means the counsellor creates space for people to tell their story and reflect at their own pace, which can help with issues like anxiety, low self-worth and trauma. The aim is to strengthen the client’s own insights and choices rather than prescribe solutions.That same person-centred attitude applies across the different formats offered. The therapist will work together with the client to find which approach fits best for their needs, goals and comfort. Deciding whether to use video, phone, chat or messaging is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy brings practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into short breaks. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, slower reflection or when typing helps to organise thoughts. These options make it easier to maintain continuity, fit sessions around daily life and choose the way of working that feels most useful.
