Noeleen Beedle, BACP

Noeleen Beedle is a counsellor and a BACP member practising in the United Kingdom. She presents herself as someone who centres the client's needs in sessions and offers a calm, steady presence. She invites clients to set the pace and choose how they are supported during therapy. Noeleen has worked in a variety of front-line and management roles for charities and public services. That background includes supporting people who have experienced homelessness, people leaving custody, older adults, and those with mental health needs. She has experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and parenting strains. She also has a particular interest in supporting autistic people and those with ADHD to access counselling, and describes practical experience with neurodiverse clients. Noeleen mentions supporting people through the perimenopause transition and working with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Her style is client-led. Some clients talk through concerns while others prefer guided questions to help reflection. She offers tools and strategies when useful, but the client decides what feels helpful. Sessions aim to create a sense of safety and steady support. Outside the session list, Noeleen notes work with a wide range of additional concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, chronic illness and disability, caregiver stress, body image and communication problems. She frames therapy as time set aside for the client, with support offered when they are ready.

How client-centred and CBT approaches work online

Noeleen uses client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside mindfulness ideas. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the client's lead so conversations stay relevant to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical ways to try new patterns that can reduce stress and worry.

Mindfulness techniques help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with difficult feelings. Together these approaches can be adapted to suit different concerns, from relationship worries to grief or addiction-related stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and check in about what helps. Clients are invited to shape sessions and choose whether they want more talking space, guided questions, or specific strategies.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit care around work, caregiving or travel, and it can make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Practical differences such as shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions can be discussed when arranging sessions to suit everyday life.
