Rate Bethany "Beth" Hunter

Hello,

I’m Beth, a humanistic counsellor living and working in Yorkshire. Alongside my counselling qualifications I also have a postgraduate degree in psychology and an arts degree.

My counselling style is grounded, relaxed and human. I don’t tend to fit into many traditional boxes, and lots of people I work with feel the same. If you have ever felt a bit different, uncomfortable in formal environments, or unsure where you quite fit, you would be very welcome here. I do not expect you to arrive with a perfect agenda, know the answers, or get everything right. People are messy and complex, and I welcome that in my practice.

Some people come to counselling because there is a specific problem they want to work through. Others arrive with several threads they cannot quite piece together, periods of prolonged stress, or patterns of thought and behaviour that seem to keep repeating. You may also simply want a space to talk freely about whatever feels important, without pressure or judgement.

I have worked with a wide range of people and experiences in my practice so far, including neurodivergence, anxiety, grief, eating problems and relationship stresses, though I do not have one specific clinical specialism. Together, we can talk about what is going on for you, begin to make sense of it, and explore coping strategies or changes that feel realistic and achievable.

If you are hoping therapy might feel thoughtful, exploratory and conversational, rather than formal, rigid or task based, I would be a good fit for you.

I currently offer sessions on Mondays through Thursdays, and work on a short-term basis initially. If you feel you'd like to continue therapy after a few weeks, we can discuss longer term sessions. If after the first session, you decide I am not the right fit for you, please know that you are not obliged to continue working with me.

I am looking forward to meeting with you soon.
