About Bethany
Bethany Sharpe is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through grief, low self-esteem, depression and intimacy-related difficulties. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them at a pace that feels comfortable. Bethany uses a warm, person-centred stance and keeps things straightforward and practical in sessions.
Her background includes three years of counselling experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Bethany works
Bethany listens first and then adapts the conversation to each person’s needs. She draws on the client-centred approach to help clients feel heard and respected while they work through change. Common concerns she supports include coping with life changes, mood disorders and issues around attachment and body image.
She also helps people facing communication problems, divorce and separation, eating and food-related issues, and pregnancy and childbirth challenges. Bethany offers support for feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation and struggles with life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
The practical aim is to help people notice what they want to change, try manageable steps, and reflect on progress between sessions. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Fees vary by location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being listened to and accepted without judgement. The therapist focuses on empathy and genuineness, helping people feel understood while they talk through grief, depression, intimacy concerns and self-esteem struggles.In practice Bethany uses the client-centred stance to follow what matters most to each person. Conversations are led by the client’s concerns and goals, and the therapist offers responsive reflections and gentle prompts to help uncover new perspectives. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, respectful way to explore emotions and make changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bethany will work with each person to decide which ways of working feel most helpful, adapting the pace and focus to match needs and preferences. This collaborative choice means the approach can change as progress is made.
Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent around work, family and daily routines.
