About Tricia

Tricia Benson is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of practical experience supporting people through difficult life moments. Tricia aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can speak openly and at their own pace.

Her work is gentle and person-focused. Sessions are grounded in listening first, so each conversation follows what matters to the person sitting in front of her.

Background and approach

Tricia pays attention to both current stressors and patterns that may have roots in earlier life experiences. Her background includes roles with UK charities and services such as Age Concern, AXA Health, MindWorks, and the Wandsworth Bereavement Counselling Service. That variety has given her experience with grief, long-term health worries, financial and workplace stress, and the practical strains of caregiving.

Tricia commonly supports people with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related struggles, sleep difficulties, and challenges around self-esteem and identity. She also works with issues such as panic, isolation, midlife change, and end-of-life matters. In sessions she blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking about past influences, and attachment-based ideas about relationships.

Conversations tend to be exploratory and paced by the client, with attention to practical coping and clearer understanding of patterns. If someone is unsure how to begin, Tricia encourages an initial conversation to talk through questions and next steps. She aims to make the first contact simple and manageable.

Approach-driven online counselling and how it helps

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps when patterns of trust, closeness or separation feel difficult in adult life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's priorities; it is useful for people who need a steady, accepting space to talk things through. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past experiences and recurring patterns to make sense of present feelings and choices, which can be helpful for longstanding or repeating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tricia works collaboratively to decide which elements suit a person's needs and goals. She will listen to preferences and adapt the style over time, mixing listening, practical coping ideas and reflection on past influences as needed.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
