About Bethan Heap
Bethan Heap is a psychotherapist who enters each therapeutic relationship with genuine curiosity and respect for the individual. She approaches people as the experts in their own lives, offering a steady, compassionate presence to explore what lies beneath surface feelings and behaviours. Her work aims to help people reconnect with parts of themselves that they have learned to quiet, hide, or carry alone.
Many clients come to Bethan when they feel caught between who they have had to be and who they want to become. Common starting points include feelings of overwhelm, shutdown, numbness, or exhaustion from keeping up appearances. Whatever a person brings, she meets them where they are without pressure or pretence.
Therapy with Bethan is warm, grounded and quietly creative. Sessions often slow the pace to make space for curiosity and somatic noticing - paying attention to what the body is doing as well as the thoughts. When words are hard to find, she may use metaphor, drawing or simple expressive tools to make internal experience more approachable. These methods are practical rather than artistic and are intended to create enough distance for feelings and thoughts to be explored safely.
Her clinical practice blends relational and body-oriented approaches and is tailored to each person rather than following a fixed protocol. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems to support relational, somatic and expressive work. This mix is adapted to the needs of the individual in each moment.
People often seek Bethan's support for identity uncertainty, emotional overwhelm or overthinking, low mood or disconnection, unexplained drops in confidence or self-esteem, repeating relationship patterns, and the strain of major life transitions. Most clients begin with a feeling rather than a tidy explanation, and Bethan treats that starting point as enough to begin making sense together.
She brings openness, kind honesty, enduring curiosity and an accessible sense of humour to the therapy space. Bethan works alongside clients rather than fixing from a distance, helping the various parts of a person to become more coordinated and less conflicted. Based in the United Kingdom, she holds a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Contemporary Creative Approaches, a BSc in Psychology, is fully registered as a psychotherapist in the UK (MNCPS Accred.) and holds the NCPS credential. With three years of clinical experience, she is currently accepting clients.
