About Benjamin

Benjamin Bookless is a counsellor who aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting. He brings six years of experience in a range of settings and offers a calm, straightforward way of working. He practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Benjamin uses a client-centred approach that focuses on what you think and feel. He listens without judging and helps you make sense of your experiences.

Background and approach

He also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps that can reduce day-to-day stress and anxiety. He has worked in charities, employee assistance programmes, GP services, church contexts and colleges since 2016. That background means he is used to short-term work and also longer conversations when they are needed.

He has recent training in trauma skills and a growing awareness of how traumatic experiences can affect the body as well as the mind. Sessions are offered in English and Benjamin can meet people internationally. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions, grief, self-esteem problems, career concerns and coping with life changes.

He also addresses family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and workplace issues. Benjamin aims to work at a pace you can manage. He encourages practical, achievable steps alongside open conversation.

If someone prefers focused tasks or a gentler listening space, he adapts his style to fit each person’s needs.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online

Benjamin offers client-centred counselling online, which means sessions begin with listening to your experience and following what matters most to you. In practice this looks like a counsellor asking open questions, reflecting your thoughts back, and helping you find clearer ways to understand difficult feelings. Client-centred work can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.

He also uses solution-focused techniques when a person wants quicker, goal-orientated change. That approach focuses on small, practical steps and what has worked before, which can help lower day-to-day stress and tackle workplace or social anxiety issues. Trauma-focused ideas are used when past events are important, with attention to how difficult experiences can affect both body and mind.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will discuss options and together decide what feels best for your needs, goals and preferences. That way the plan can change as you progress and different methods can be combined.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and text messaging suits quick reflections or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping sessions practical and focused.
