About me
I’m Bethan, a qualified integrative psychotherapist (MBACP). At 26, I bring both professional training and a deep, long-standing passion for counselling that has been developing for many years. I’ve spent the past seven years studying at university to become a counsellor, gaining extensive theoretical knowledge alongside practical experience. While I may appear young, the depth of my training and my commitment to this work are grounded in years of learning, reflection, and hands-on experience with people at different stages of life. Some clients initially wonder what it might be like to work with a younger therapist, and later reflect that they feel held by the depth of my training, experience, and thoughtful approach.
I offer counselling to adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low mood, low confidence and self-esteem, suicidal ideation, bereavement, dementia, estrangement, family dynamics, relationship challenges, and experiences of abuse. I’ve worked with people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds, which has given me a strong understanding of how emotional struggles can present in different ways — and how important it is to feel truly heard and understood.
I provide a calm, supportive space where you can slow things down, breathe, and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing at your own pace. Many clients come to me feeling unsure of themselves, disconnected from who they are, or critical of their own thoughts and emotions. My aim is to help you build self-understanding, confidence, and a kinder relationship with yourself.
I work integratively, meaning I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to you as an individual. There’s no one-size-fits-all therapy here. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface, helping you gain clarity, emotional relief, and new perspectives.
At the heart of my practice is a collaborative relationship built on trust, empathy, and respect. I don’t see therapy as something “done to” you, but as a journey we take together — supporting you to reconnect with your strengths, develop resilience, and move towards greater balance and self-understanding.
If you’re considering counselling and wondering whether it could help, you’re very welcome to get in touch. We can explore what’s been going on for you and whether working together feels like the right next step.
You can contact me by email, phone, or text. I’d be honoured to support you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
