Benjamin Ng is a psychotherapist with a Master’s degree and ten years of experience. He helps people who are feeling stuck - whether that is stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship problems, or questions about identity and self-worth. He aims to create a calm, honest space where difficult things can be spoken about without pressure to perform.

His style is warm and grounded, and he is willing to challenge gently when needed.

Background and approach

He works integratively, combining psychodynamic ideas with family systems thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That means he looks at the patterns that shape someone’s life and also focuses on what practical steps help now. Benjamin has particular experience with relationship issues, addictions, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and LGBT concerns.

He also supports people facing parenting strains, career changes, compassion fatigue and the stress of caregiving. Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, blended family problems, and forgiveness work. In sessions he pays attention to how culture, gender identity and social structures interact with personal difficulties.

He balances listening with thoughtful questions rather than quick fixes. Therapy is about understanding where problems come from and finding ways to move forward that fit the person’s life. Benjamin offers work online through video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take committed action, even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. It can help with anxiety, low mood, addiction and life transitions by clarifying values and building small steps that fit daily life.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and unconscious stories that shape how someone relates to themselves and others. It can be useful for understanding attachment, abandonment issues and long-standing relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will discuss different options and tailor a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That way the method chosen fits the practical aims of therapy rather than being a fixed prescription.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections between sessions or people who find writing easier than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt formats to match scheduling, pace and therapeutic aims.
