Background and approach
Benjamin blends several approaches to suit each person. Client-centred ideas shape how he listens and responds. Attachment-based ways of looking at relationships help when connection and trust are affected.
He also uses Jungian and existential themes to explore meaning, identity and recurring life patterns. In sessions he may invite attention to dreams, imagery or present-moment sensations. He offers reflective conversation alongside guided mindfulness practices.
The work is often about recognising fragmented parts of the self and finding kinder ways to live with them. Benjamin is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated to BACP. He has worked in care and support settings alongside his counselling practice, bringing experience supporting adults with a range of needs.

How Benjamin’s approaches work online
Benjamin uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape feeling and behaviour; this can help when trust, closeness or repeating patterns cause pain. Client-centred work means the conversation centres on the person’s experience, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection rather than directive advice. Jungian and existential themes invite exploration of meaning, life stories and inner imagery, which can be useful for people wrestling with identity, emptiness or recurring life themes.Finding the right approach is part of the journey and Benjamin treats it as a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then adapt the blend of listening, mindfulness and imagery work to fit the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face style conversation and work with imagery or guided mindfulness. Phone sessions can be a low-bandwidth option and useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging give space for written reflection and quick support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while still working with an experienced therapist.
