About Ben
Ben Warden is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience working with anxiety, depression, ADHD and relationship concerns. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential and Mindfulness approaches alongside trauma-focused work to help people untangle thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Ben focuses on how anxious and depressive patterns link to a person's relationships with others, with activities, and with themselves. He asks practical questions about values and what matters to the client. That helps make goals clear and reduces the cycle of reacting without direction.
Sessions look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going, and at meaning beneath those patterns. Ben draws on CBT to spot unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to help notice how the body and mind respond, and existential ideas to discuss life choices and values. Trauma-focused elements are used when past events keep affecting present reactions.
He works with a wide range of difficulties including stress, addictions, grief, sleep problems, anger and self-harm. Other areas he addresses are attachment and communication problems, control issues, midlife and men's issues, obsessions and compulsions, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use.
Ben prefers straightforward discussions and practical steps alongside reflective conversations about meaning. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session where priorities and next steps are agreed.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Ben commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of unhelpful thinking and to practise different ways of responding. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, obsessions, low mood and many stress-related problems.He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach ways of noticing thoughts and bodily reactions without immediately acting on them. Mindfulness can help with sleep problems, impulsive behaviours and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when rhythms are disrupted. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care while focusing on practical tools, reflection and homework between meetings.
