About Benjamin
Benjamin Roberts is NCPS and has three years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. He focuses on addictions, LGBT concerns, relationships, self-esteem and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice notes experience with chronic health conditions and autism spectrum presentations.
Benjamin frames his work around respect for the person's own perspective. He emphasises listening first and letting the client lead discussions about what matters most. He notes a preference for Person Centred and Compassion Focused Therapy as ways to shape conversations and support coping with distress.
He has worked with people who face long-term health issues such as chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis and with people on the autism spectrum. He also sees a range of concerns including addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-worth and depression.
Sessions are described as an opportunity to speak about whatever is on the client's mind for as long as they feel it is needed. Benjamin highlights practical support for motivation, managing panic or panic attacks, and working through separation and divorce issues when these come up.
His approach is straightforward and conversational. He prefers to help clients notice what matters to them, identify small steps, and reflect on progress over time.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Person Centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client's lead. It is about giving the person space to tell their story and then helping them notice what they value and want to change. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem and general emotional distress.Compassion Focused ways of working concentrate on reducing self-criticism and increasing self-kindness. Techniques involve soothing-focused exercises and noticing unhelpful self-judgement. These tools are often useful for people struggling with guilt, shame, or persistent harsh self-talk.
Finding the right method is collaborative. Benjamin will talk with the client about goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. He aims to adapt the work over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to focus on.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a shorter check-in into a break, or choosing a meeting style that reduces camera time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people keep continuity of care while managing other commitments.
