Bethan Heap

Bethan Heap is a psychotherapist who aims to understand your world without telling you how to live it. She meets people where they are and helps them notice what lies beneath stress, exhaustion or the words "I am fine". Many come because they feel stuck between who they have had to be and who they want to become.

Her approach is warm, grounded and collaborative. Sessions slow down the rush and pay attention to both body and emotion as well as thoughts. If words are hard, she uses simple creative tools like metaphor or drawing to make feelings easier to approach.

Bethan blends person-centred work with emotionally focused and somatic methods. She also uses parts-based thinking to help different aspects of a person start to work together rather than tug in opposite directions. Everything is adapted to the individual rather than following a fixed recipe.

People often come with low mood, anxiety, relationship patterns, identity wobbles, or the strain of big life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, ADHD and body image concerns. Typical starting points are feelings such as not feeling like yourself, being tired of holding everything up, or sensing that something is off.

Bethan holds a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Contemporary Creative Approaches and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She is registered with NCPS. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

How attachment, emotion and somatic work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and connection. It helps people notice how early relational patterns shape current worries and relationship difficulties, and it supports building different ways of relating in day-to-day life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to core feelings and the needs behind them. It helps clients name and sit with hard emotions, so patterns of disconnection or reactivity become clearer and more changeable.

Somatic approaches bring attention to bodily signals and responses. This can help when anxiety, overwhelm or numbness is felt more in the body than in words, and it gives practical ways to regulate feeling states.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and what feels most helpful together. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and choices about methods are made collaboratively.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example by cutting travel time, enabling shorter check-ins around work breaks, or allowing sessions when leaving the house is difficult. Talk with the therapist when booking about practical arrangements and what will help sessions fit your routine.
