About Benjamin
Benjamin Roberts NCPS has three years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. He is listed with NCPS and works with people on addiction, LGBT issues, relationship concerns, self-esteem and depression. Sessions are conducted in English.
Benjamin uses a person-centred way of working and draws on compassion-focused ideas in sessions. He frames clients as the experts in their own lives and aims to listen first. In practice this means letting a person lead the conversation and checking what feels most useful each week.
He also works with people affected by chronic health conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis, and with those on the autism spectrum. He says these areas form a large part of his recent caseload.
Common issues he helps people talk through include stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also lists a wider range of concerns such as panic, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, self-harm, guilt and loneliness.
Benjamin describes sessions as a place to be heard and to speak openly for as many weeks as needed. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Benjamin uses person-centred counselling and compassion-focused ideas in his work. Person-centred counselling centres on listening and following what the client brings to sessions; it helps when someone wants space to talk and make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Compassion-focused approaches involve developing a kinder stance towards oneself and are often used for shame, self-criticism and low self-worth.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He aims to discuss options with each person and agree what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time and the counsellor and client review it as they go.
Practical benefits of online counselling include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a range of session lengths and arrangements that can suit quieter surroundings, lower internet bandwidth, short check-ins or fitting a session into a lunch break.
