About Bethany
Bethany Macintyre is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Bethany emphasises a gentle, supportive way of working that helps people take the first small steps toward change.
She sees people as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. Bethany aims to make time for what feels most important to the client in each meeting. Her work often centres on understanding how past relationships and attachment patterns connect to current struggles.
She helps people talk through feelings of abandonment, loneliness, guilt and shame. Practical skills for coping with impulse control, substance or process addiction, and difficult life changes are included when they are helpful. Communication problems, codependency and problems within family dynamics are addressed by exploring expectations and boundaries.
Bethany also supports people who want to work on self-love, purpose and rebuilding confidence after setbacks. She uses Client-Centred Therapy principles to guide a respectful, non-judgemental space. Sessions can be arranged through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Bethany works with people from different places and offers sessions in English to suit a range of needs.

Approaches Bethany lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The same person-led style also applies to addressing trauma and anxiety. Sessions support people to talk through distressing experiences at a pace they can manage, and to notice personal strengths that aid recovery. For concerns such as addiction or impulse control, sessions can combine empathic listening with practical strategies chosen together.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide what methods and pace suit their goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the work as needed, so therapy stays relevant to immediate concerns.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to access ongoing support across different locations and schedules.
