Benjamin Roberts is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He aims to make the first steps into therapy feel simple and respectful. Ben wants people to feel heard and to talk openly about what matters to them without fear of judgement.

Ben focuses on addictions, LGBT issues, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. He also works with people facing chronic pain or illness, autism and Asperger syndrome, and the emotional impact of separation and divorce.

Background and approach

Other areas he supports include trauma, panic attacks, compulsive behaviours, substance concerns and feelings of guilt or isolation. Sessions are shaped around the person’s needs. Ben uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a compassionate, person-centred style.

He encourages clients to lead the story of their lives while offering practical ways to manage distress and build healthier patterns. He is experienced supporting people living with long-term health conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and those navigating the overlap between physical illness and mood.

Ben also works with clients affected by veteran and armed forces issues and with people dealing with process addictions and self-harm thoughts. Conversations with Ben are straightforward and paced to suit each person. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines.

People are invited to join for as long as they find helpful and to review progress as they go.

How Ben adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Benjamin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building compassion and oncentred listening. Compassion-focused approaches teach people to respond to themselves with kindness and practical self-care strategies; these are useful for shame, guilt and low self-worth. Person-centred methods prioritise the client’s perspective and pace, helping people find their own solutions and feel more understood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ben will explore your goals, what has helped or not helped before, and your personal preferences. Together you can try methods and adjust them until the approach fits your needs and makes sense in day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read body language and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps concentration. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions and people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments and other commitments while still accessing professional help from registered or accredited professionals.
