About Me

Counselling for those in demanding careers struggling with romantic relationships.

I’m Ben — an accredited psychotherapist with over a decade of experience helping people improve their romantic relationships and navigate the quieter struggles that don’t always have a name. As a single dad who has their kiddo full-time, I know a thing or two about how messy the world of romantic relationships can be. I’m not going to pretend to be perfect; but, through my own therapy and training, I’ve become pretty decent at decision making, navigating fears, and feeling more resilient, confident, and more accepting of the past.

Clients who work with me either put too much of themselves into their partners, or don’t put in enough. They often struggle to date or find it hard to connect with others — especially when they feel like they don’t have a good relationship with themselves. The couples I see get trapped in the cycle of emotional explosions, to not talking about what’s going on underneath. Oftentimes, my clients get caught in the carousal of “what-ifs.” Whether it’s dabbling in amateur MMA fights, running 24-hour races, or swimming in wild, frigid waters, I can relate to feelings of dread and panic when it comes to tasks that feel insurmountable (though, I promise, you don’t have to be as masochistic as I am to work though it!).

If you suspect that there’s something in the way that’s stopping you from connecting or feeling fully connected with your partner, this space is yours.

Popular FAQs

What happens in the first session?

Once a couple of forms are signed and submitted pre-session, it’s about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what you’re hoping for, and what therapy could look like with me. No pressure to go deep straight away. We will go at your pace.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

You don’t need a diagnosis or a dramatic story. If something feels stuck, heavy, or hard to name, therapy can help. You don’t need to be falling apart to want something to shift.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes, video chat that can go up to 50 minutes — for you to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and decide if I am the right fit for you.

Do you offer a sliding scale?

I do! I keep a limited number of lower-cost spaces for clients on low income or in financially tricky circumstances. Feel free to ask — there is no need to justify your situation.

What if I cry or go blank?

That’s not a therapy problem, that’s therapy working. Whether you need to cry, vent, go quiet, or “fall apart”… it’s all welcome here.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes. What we talk about stays between us. Sessions are confidential and handled in line with GDPR. I’m registered with the ICO, and your information is stored securely.
The only exceptions are if there is an intent to harm youself or others, if there is suspected abuse of a child or a dependent adult, or if you want me to release information to someone else i.e. GP/doctor (this can be handled by a release of information form).

In whatever case, I’d always aim to speak to you first.

How are sessions structured?

Sessions are 50 minutes (unless otherwise specified), held online via a secure, encrypted platform (Zoom). You'll receive a link automatically when you book.

Therapy with me is conversational and collaborative, not a script to follow. I integrate structured approaches when helpful (like goal-setting or values work), but I also leave room for reflection, insight, and the unexpected. Some sessions may feel focused and practical, others may go deeper — both are part of the process.

How do cancellations work?

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Less than that, the full session fee may apply unless, of course, it’s a genuine emergency.

My email is always open to have a discussion if a late cancellation or a reschedule comes up.

What if I dont "click" with you?

You won’t offend me. If it doesn’t feel right, I’ll support you in finding someone who does feel like the right therapist for you.

What if I say something weird or dark?

If it crossed your mind, it can cross into the room. Therapy’s where the unfiltered stuff is supposed to go.

Is this like BetterHelp/Regain?

Platforms like BetterHelp can be a great entry point, but they often come with rigid structures e.g. weekly subscription fees, cancellation forms, back-and-forth with admin, or the inability to slowly phase therapy out when you’re ready.

I work at a pace that suits you. Sessions can be regular, flexible, or tapered off as life shifts — because therapy should change when you do.
