About Beth, Online Therapist & Counsellor UK
A space for you to be heard
About me
There was a period in my life when everything felt like too much to carry alone. What helped wasn’t advice or being told to look on the bright side — it was someone who held my pain alongside me and made time and space so I didn’t have to face it all by myself. I retrained as a therapist because I wanted to become that person for someone else.
That experience has shaped the therapist I am today. I don’t believe therapy should feel like another place to perform, explain yourself or hold it together. So much of what people carry — masking, burnout and the quiet exhaustion of people-pleasing — comes from years of adapting to be accepted. I wanted to create a space where you can put that down, even briefly, and explore your identity and sense of belonging without needing to justify either.
Inclusion isn’t something I’ve had to consciously add to my practice. It’s simply part of who I am and how I see the world, shaped by the people in my life and the communities I’ve been part of. It influences how I listen, the assumptions I avoid making, and my commitment to creating a space where you feel accepted as you are.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of my time outdoors – gardening, mostly, in ways that try to work with nature rather than against it.
My Ragdoll cat, Husky, supervises most of it from a safe distance.
How I work
My approach is rooted in person-centred therapy, which means our relationship is at the heart of the work we do together. Rather than following a set programme or offering advice, I’ll help you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and explore whatever feels most important to you.
Many of the people I work with have spent years looking as though they’re coping. They’re the ones others rely on, the ones who keep going, often while feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected inside. Therapy can become one of the few places where you don’t have to hold it all together.
I’ll be alongside you with warmth, curiosity and honesty, helping you understand yourself more deeply rather than telling you who you should be. Sometimes that means exploring long-standing patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism or self-criticism. Sometimes it means making space for grief, identity, relationships or simply the relief of saying things out loud for the first time.
My practice is trauma-informed and affirming of LGBTQ+ people, gender, sexuality and relationship diversity (GSRD), and neurodivergence. Whoever you are, I want you to feel that you can arrive exactly as you are, without having to explain, defend or minimise your experience before we begin.
