Noeleen Beedle, BACP

Noeleen Beedle is a therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works from a person-centred stance and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and respectful. Noeleen welcomes people who need someone to listen and help them think through next steps.

She brings a long history of practical work with diverse groups, including older people, people who have experienced homelessness, and those using public services. That background has informed how she supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. Noeleen also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma, relationship difficulties and mood issues such as depression and bipolar.

Noeleen has a particular interest in helping neurodiverse people, including those who are autistic or have ADHD, to access therapy in ways that suit them. She also focuses on ageing and geriatric issues and on the stresses faced by carers. Her practice includes helping with body image, chronic illness, cancer-related concerns, and blended family or adoption questions.

Her work style is collaborative and flexible. Some clients prefer to talk freely, while others like more questions or practical tools. Noeleen offers coping strategies and simple techniques when asked, and follows the client’s lead on how to use them.

She describes therapy as a space that belongs to the client. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways to cope with life changes, communication problems, and intimacy or commitment worries. Noeleen encourages people to start at their own pace and decide what they need from each session.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Noeleen uses person-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in her practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and letting the client guide what they want to work on; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical steps to change unhelpful habits; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and ease day-to-day tension.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. She will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and the problem they want to tackle. That collaboration means the plan can change as needs shift over time.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time so therapy is easier to maintain. Online appointments can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a work break. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available with this therapist.
