More about Benjamin

- BACP, NCPS
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I am licensed in the UK and registered with the BACP and NCPS.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
An early stage in counselling is recognising that something has changed or you desire change. You don’t need to have thought about solutions or come up with answers to seek out counselling. Bring your feelings and emotions and we can start from there. I’ll be with you to explore whatever your concern or trouble is. I won’t give you advice and I’m not going to tell you what to do – we will work together to explore different perspectives and help you find a solution.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
