About Bethany
Bethany Sharpe welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next step. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk at their own pace and begin to make sense of difficult feelings. Bethany writes plainly and listens closely so conversations stay focused and practical for everyday life.
Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the person in front of her rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build understanding, increase self-compassion and help people notice choices they might not have seen before. That can be useful when facing grief, depression, low self-esteem or big life changes. Over three years of practice have involved supporting people through a wide range of concerns.
These include intimacy-related issues, attachment difficulties, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, eating and food-related issues, and post-traumatic stress. Bethany also works with issues such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose and sexuality. Therapy focuses on practical conversation and steady emotional support.
Bethany combines empathic listening with helpful questions and reflections to encourage clearer thinking and new ways of coping. She values a gentle, steady pace and adapts to what each person needs. Sessions are available in English and are offered online in a variety of formats.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule the first appointment according to therapist availability.

Approaches Bethany lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The core idea is that the client leads the conversation while the therapist offers a steady, accepting presence. That can help when someone is dealing with depression, attachment issues or life transitions and wants a calm space to think things through. The therapist will adapt the pace and topics to each person rather than following a fixed script.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and practical needs, and will adjust techniques as understanding deepens. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits each person’s situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, flexible scheduling or when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy easier to fit into a busy life and increase accessibility for people across the United Kingdom.
