About Ben
He has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life transitions. Additional areas of focus include attachment and family of origin issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and men's issues. His practice integrates an awareness of these themes into therapeutic conversations while attending to each person's unique context and goals.
Ben holds the BACP credential. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. He has provided flexible online sessions tailored to individual needs and aims to offer respectful, inclusive care to people from a variety of backgrounds. His approach centers on collaboration and practical exploration rather than prescriptive solutions.
Existential approaches and flexible online care
Existential Therapy explores questions about meaning, choice, responsibility, and personal values. It helps people facing feelings of emptiness, life transitions, relationship struggles, or uncertainty about purpose by encouraging honest reflection and action that aligns with what matters most to them.
Alongside that core approach, Ben works in a collaborative, person-focused way that prioritizes the client’s experience and strengths. This style emphasizes mutual exploration rather than one-size-fits-all techniques and supports people who are navigating issues such as anxiety, depression, identity, neurodivergence, and relationship concerns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Ben will work with clients to identify which methods and priorities best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work progresses in a collaborative way with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and increase access for people in different locations. Used thoughtfully, remote sessions can support consistent progress and maintain therapeutic momentum between meetings.
