About Bethan
Bethan Heap is a psychotherapist with NCPS registration and three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who feel stuck after change or who are unsure who they are now. Typical concerns she sees include stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, grief, parenting strain and questions about life purpose.
Clients come to her when they notice a drop in confidence, repeated relationship problems, numbness, or the sense that something has shifted inside. She describes her role as someone who sits beside clients and listens with curiosity rather than telling them what to do. Sessions aim to slow things down and notice what is happening beneath the surface.
Her approach blends person-centred work, emotionally-focused methods and somatic awareness. She pays attention to the body as well as thoughts, and uses metaphor or simple creative tools when words feel hard. These practices are intended to make feelings easier to look at and talk about.
Therapy is described as straightforward, honest and collaborative. Bethan says she works with different parts of a person’s experience so those parts begin to cooperate rather than pull in different directions. She includes a light sense of humour when it helps people breathe.
Her background includes a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Contemporary Creative Approaches and a BSc in Psychology. She is listed with NCPS in the UK and continues to engage in CPD to support relational and somatic methods.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when trust, closeness or repeated conflict feel confusing and when people wonder why they keep repeating the same relational moves.Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s pace to make sense of feelings and choices.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at the shape of emotions in relationships and helps people identify and name core feelings. It can be useful for repeated patterns in close relationships and for understanding emotional responses to loss or change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and they will try different ways of working until a good fit emerges.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help with practical constraints.
