I’m Bethany – a qualified, BACP registered counsellor who feels passionate about helping people to work through whatever issues they might be experiencing, and to get to a place of being fully themselves. I offer telephone & online counselling and in-person sessions in the Acomb area of York.

I’ve worked with clients who have brought a whole range of issues; including anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, bereavement and addictions.

I work as an integrative counsellor, grounded in person centred theory. This sounds a bit fancy, but it basically means that it’s all about you, your needs and your preferences. I draw on different approaches (e.g., psychodynamic, somatic, Internal Family Systems, Transactional Analysis) when they’re useful to you, all with a view to supporting you to make sense of what you’re going through.

I think the thing that can make or break your experience of counselling is the relationship between you and your therapist. It’s also one of the most useful tools I have. I’ll sometimes notice out loud what’s happening between us in the moment, and we can get curious about it together. It’s not about putting you under the microscope, it’s simply a helpful way to spot patterns that show up in the rest of your life.

It’s hard to get a sense of all this from a website – so why don’t we have a free, no-obligation conversation to see whether you get the right sort of feeling to go ahead.
