Bethany Sharpe, BACP

Bethany Sharpe creates a warm, non-judgemental environment where people can explore their feelings and face difficult challenges at a pace that feels right for them. She works with a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns, including grief, anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, addiction, and relationship difficulties, and offers steady support as clients navigate those experiences.

Her work is grounded in a person-centred approach that emphasises empathy, genuine presence, and unconditional positive regard. Bethany draws on her training to listen deeply and reflect clients' experiences back in ways that help them gain clarity and self-understanding. Where appropriate, she also incorporates techniques and insights from other therapeutic methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Bethany values talk therapy as a meaningful tool for personal growth and well-being and considers it a privilege to accompany people through their unique journeys. She welcomes contact from those who think her style may be a good fit and is open to arranging an initial session to explore next steps. Bethany holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Person-Centred Support and Online Access

Client-Centred Therapy is at the core of Bethany's practice. This approach focuses on offering empathic understanding, genuine presence, and acceptance so clients can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. It can be especially helpful for issues such as grief, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions because it prioritises the client’s experience and pace.

Alongside a person-centred foundation, Bethany integrates techniques and insights from other therapeutic approaches as needed, adapting interventions to suit the individual. This flexible, tailored stance aims to address specific concerns like mood difficulties, attachment or intimacy challenges, and coping with change by combining supportive listening with practical tools when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and Bethany treats that as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and together with the client decide which methods to use and how sessions should progress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this collaborative work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for continuity of care regardless of schedule or location, making it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. These options also support different communication styles, so clients can choose the format that feels most comfortable and accessible for them.
