Ben Warden is a counsellor who blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, existential thinking and mindfulness to help people untangle worry, low mood and addiction. He uses clear, practical steps so conversations feel focused and useful. Ben has seven years of experience and works with people across a wide range of life issues in the United Kingdom and internationally.

He pays particular attention to how thoughts, behaviours and relationships interact. That includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep and eating difficulties, and addictions.

Background and approach

Ben also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the person and set manageable goals to move towards that. Ben often explores attachment and communication patterns that affect how someone relates to themselves and others.

He also works on anger, low self-esteem, obsessive-compulsive behaviours and process addictions like gambling or pornography. Practical strategies are paired with reflective work about life purpose and values. In sessions he uses evidence-informed tools from CBT alongside mindfulness exercises to calm the body and focus attention.

Existential ideas help people consider meaning, choice and responsibility when navigating change. Trauma-focused approaches are available for those who need to process abuse or painful memories. Ben offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

He is a member of the BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Ben combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage unhelpful thoughts and reduce anxiety. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments, which can ease panic, OCD symptoms and low mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.

Existential Therapy is also part of his work, helping people consider meaning, values and choices when life feels confusing. This approach suits those wrestling with life purpose, midlife shifts or big changes that leave them feeling stuck. Ben discusses options together and tailors the mix of approaches to each person’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical benefits. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone calls can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text sessions allow short check-ins, journalling-style reflection and flexible pacing across the week. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy around daily life.
