Bethany Fenton

Bethany Fenton is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on issues many women bring to therapy. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, and matters related to sexuality and LGBT experiences. Sessions are offered in English and Bethany works from a gender-affirming, non-judgemental stance.

Bethany describes her approach as person-centred, which comes from humanistic therapy. That means the client sets the pace and chooses what to talk about. Bethany listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings and decisions in their own time.

She has four years of experience working directly with clients and also spent a year teaching counselling students. Her practical background informs how she holds conversations about attachment, abandonment, body image, commitment and communication difficulties, and the impact of past sexual trauma.

In sessions Bethany makes space for questions about gender dysphoria, non-monogamous relationships, sexual function, and broader life-purpose concerns. She encourages people to bring whatever matters to them, however small it may feel, and works to help them find greater self-understanding and self-love.

People who choose Bethany can expect a calm, accepting environment focused on listening and reflection. If you want to explore your experiences with someone who centres your priorities, she asks prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session via the Start Therapy button.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online working

Person-centred practice focuses on listening, empathy and following what the client brings. It helps people clarify feelings, make choices and build self-acceptance by placing their priorities at the centre of each session.

The biography describes Bethany as working from a humanistic perspective. Humanistic approaches aim to support people to connect with their values and life purpose, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, loneliness and questions about identity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bethany will work with each person to identify which ways of working feel helpful, adapting to the client’s needs and goals as therapy progresses.

Because the profile does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online or telephone sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, allowing sessions during lunch breaks or without travel. Others prefer face-to-face contact when possible. Discussing practical arrangements early makes it easier to fit therapy around daily routines.
