Compassionate Therapy
for Couples, Individuals and Families

Ben really invested himself in my situation, and I felt like I truly had someone who cared and listened to me. Regarding my treatment, Ben left no stone unturned, and ultimately set me on course to getting better through his sessions and support – which were a vital outlet that I desperately needed.

Therapy with Ben really felt like a collaborative effort of working to gain the tools I needed to help with the aspects of life I struggle with. I came away from every session feeling better than when I went in – that I had learned something valuable through friendly conversation. I leave our final session feeling not only happier than I have in a long time, but more equipped to deal with the times I’m not so happy.

Before Ben, my experience with therapists and the therapy itself had been quite negative. Ben helped me understand that, with the right skills, I didn’t have to be a prisoner of my own mind forever. He has the right balance of ‘professional’ and ‘personal’, which made it easy to connect and work with him effectively.

Ben has been an amazing therapist throughout a very difficult 18 months when my son (17-18 years) became so ill with major depression. Ben was always very reassuring of a positive outcome. He was kind yet firm and was very skilled in relating to my son, building his confidence and believing in him. My son gained much insight from Ben and has now recovered fully and is thriving at work – I am very grateful to Ben.”

My 16 year old daughter was referred to Ben by her psychiatrist. She was suffering from a range of issues including depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, anxiety and panic attacks. She was medicated for depression and anxiety, as she was suffering badly and often unable to go to school. She saw Ben once a week for therapy over a period of 8 months, during which time she was helped to develop proper coping strategies to deal with the various situations which she found (and sometimes still finds) most challenging. I am sure she is still using these strategies from time to time, and Ben proved to be an instrumental part of her recovery. He has a wonderful, warm manner and easily relates to anyone. He can encourage open discussion on any difficult issue which seems insurmountable. My husband and I also had one or two ‘family’ sessions with our daughter and Ben. This was something which she was reluctant to undertake, but Ben managed to persuade her to take part. It wasn’t always easy, but it was super helpful to us. He managed to shine a light on the behaviors which were shaping the relationship dynamics and causing the difficulties. In summary, Ben has been a very important part of our daughter’s recovery and has also helped us as a family to support her. We know that we can bring her back to him if the need arises, for a gentle (and usually humorous) reminder of her ability to stay well. I really recommend him.
