About Arben

Arben "Ben" Delija uses an integrative approach to counselling. He blends client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas. Ben works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem and grief.

He speaks English and Albanian and practises in the United Kingdom. Ben tailors sessions to each person. He draws on motivational interviewing to support change and on psychodynamic ideas to think about patterns that repeat over time.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth, with steps to try between meetings when appropriate. He has five years of direct counselling experience and a longer background supporting people with drug and alcohol issues. That earlier work included group sessions and one-to-one support focused on harm reduction and practical coping strategies.

Common concerns Ben addresses include relationship strain, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career pressures. He also supports people dealing with trauma, bereavement, compassion fatigue and issues linked to immigration or family separation. Ben approaches each conversation without judgement.

He helps people name what is hardest, notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are offered online in several formats to suit different needs and routines.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgement. Online this means the counsellor creates space for people to talk and be heard, helping them clarify what matters most and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical techniques to change them. In remote sessions CBT can include exercises, worksheets and planned tasks to try between meetings to help reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's needs and goals. That choice can shift as progress is made, with regular review and agreement about what to try next.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
