About Bethan
Bethan Heap is a psychotherapist registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who they are right now. Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and the strain of big life changes.
Her style is grounded and collaborative. Sessions are gentle and curious, with an emphasis on slowing down to notice feelings and bodily reactions. Bethan listens without judgement and treats the client as the expert on their own life.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Bethan also draws on somatic awareness and parts-based work to help people notice what their body is doing, not only their thoughts. Creative tools such as metaphor or simple drawing are offered when words feel hard to find.
Therapy with her is practical and relational. She helps people name patterns that keep repeating and explore the parts of themselves they have learned to quiet or hide. Sessions focus on making sense of difficult feelings, building connection with inner experiences, and experimenting with different ways of responding.
Bethan trained with a Masters in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Contemporary Creative Approaches and holds a BSc in Psychology. She is registered with NCPS and continues professional development in relational and somatic methods. The work aims to be down-to-earth and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and how they affect relationships and personal patterns. It helps people notice emotional responses and work with them in the moment.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now. It helps people recognise repeated ways of relating and try new ways of connecting with themselves and others.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s experience and follows the client’s lead. The therapist listens closely and reflects what emerges so people can make sense of their own feelings and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bethan will discuss which methods suit the concerns, goals and preferences that you bring. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break or after work. They also mean people can use audio-only if video is difficult, or choose shorter check-ins when needed.
