Bethany Gribbon

Bethany Gribbon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 6 years of experience. She works from core person-centred values, placing the client at the centre of the therapeutic process and creating an inviting space to explore whatever topics feel important.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). As a BACP member she follows the association’s Ethical Framework, participates in regular supervision, and is committed to ongoing professional development.

Bethany adapts her approach to meet each person’s needs. While her work is grounded in person-centred practice, she may also explore different ways of thinking, offer hypotheses, and use tentative challenges to unhelpful outlooks or mindsets when appropriate - always aiming to encourage reflective self-exploration.

The therapeutic space she offers is non-judgmental and empathetic, and she works collaboratively with clients to examine feelings, beliefs and behaviours. This collaborative work is intended to support greater self-awareness and personal autonomy.

Over the years Bethany has worked with a very diverse range of people, spanning ages from teenagers through post-retirement, and including varied ethnic, cultural, gender and sexual identities. She has supported clients with concerns such as depression, anxiety and panic attacks, health worries, grief, domestic abuse, rape, historical childhood trauma and family difficulties.

She has also supported many people with relationship problems and life transitions - whether relational, relocation, career or university changes - and has considerable experience working with LGBTQI+ individuals on matters of sexuality, gender identity and self-worth. Bethany aims for the best outcomes for those she works with, is open to discussing any topic, and will signpost to other services when that is in a client’s best interest.
