About Bethan Heap
Bethan Heap is a UK-based psychotherapist who approaches therapy with genuine curiosity and a focus on human connection. She meets people where they are, helping them explore what lies beneath the surface of everyday coping - the parts of themselves they have quieted, hidden, or carried alone. Bethan often works with individuals who feel caught between who they have needed to be and who they want to become, offering a calm presence for those who feel overwhelmed, numb, exhausted, or stuck behind a mask of seeming fine.
Her style is warm, grounded and quietly creative, slowing things down so clients can notice how their bodies and emotions are showing up as well as their thoughts. When words are hard to reach, she may use metaphor, drawing, or simple expressive tools to create helpful distance and clarity. Therapy is tailored to each person rather than applied from a fixed model, with attention to relational patterns, somatic signals, and emotional experience.
Bethan supports work on identity shifts, low mood and anxiety, repeating relationship patterns, loss of confidence, life transitions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and intimacy challenges, and a broad range of stress-related concerns. She holds a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Contemporary Creative Approaches and a BSc in Psychology, and she is registered with NCPS - a recognised professional credential for psychotherapists. Bethan offers collaborative, nonjudgmental care that aims to help people reconnect with themselves and build more integrated ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Bethan integrates several relational and body-aware approaches to help people feel more connected to themselves and others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work - this helps with self-esteem, decision making, and rebuilding trust in one’s own sense of self. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can be useful for addressing repeating relationship patterns, intimacy issues, and attachment concerns. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and how the body stores stress or trauma, offering practical ways to notice and regulate sensations when feelings are overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Bethan collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting techniques as understanding grows. This collaborative stance helps clients find what feels most helpful rather than following a one-size-fits-all path.
Online therapy with Bethan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and fit therapy into a busy routine while still working with registered professionals who aim to support meaningful change.
