More about Ben
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
Hi, I'm Ben, and I'm a qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with over three years experience of seeing clients through volunteering at local agencies and running my own Private Practice. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, bereavement, anxiety, relationship issues, self worth, problems at work and issues with drug/alcohol use (both those currently working on their own addictions and those whose loved ones are addicted). Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent most my career working in financial services.
My therapy style is warm, approachable and without judgement. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. My approach is predominantly person centred, although also incorporates existential and solution focused approaches, I believe you have the capacity within yourself to overcome your troubles and I see my role as to walk alongside you, supporting you, encouraging you - maybe even challenging you - as you find your way to unlocking your true self.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to hearing your story and the opportunity of working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Helpful and polite therapist
Ben is not only extremely professional but very engaging and amiable as well. I feel very comfortable talking to him about experiences that I would normally find embarrassing or awkward bringing in real life and have made real steps already after only a few sessions to overcome these feelings. He is also timely and supportive, two things that help me keep on track in terms of my thoughts and my schedule. I am looking forward to working with him further and would recommend Ben to those who also need a patient and kind listener to guide them.
