About Benjamin
Benjamin ('Beni') Fleischer is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and life changes. He also lists bipolar and a number of related concerns including abandonment, codependency, infidelity and fatherhood issues.
Beni writes about how people carry both visible and hidden parts of life. He uses that idea to help clients notice patterns that come from background, family, religion and identity. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer so people can feel more able to choose how to act rather than react.
His style draws on client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions tend to balance listening for underlying themes with practical steps to try between meetings. He describes working at a pace set by the client and paying attention to personal history and current pressures.
Beni has worked with people from varied backgrounds and spent time counselling within the NHS. He mentions personal experience of a mid-life transition, and that this has shaped how he understands being stuck or feeling lost. He follows the ethical framework of the BACP and receives professional supervision.
Sessions are conducted in English, Hebrew and Yiddish when needed. International clients are accepted, and practical details about sessions and fees vary with location and subscription arrangements.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and prioritising the client's experience. It helps when someone wants space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions with supportive feedback. Psychodynamic Therapy looks for patterns that come from past relationships and background so people can better understand why they react in certain ways. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and goals to create changes between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then agree a way of working together. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift or as different topics come up.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or caring responsibilities. They may also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and help keep appointments during busy weeks. Registered or accredited professionals will typically discuss practical arrangements such as length and frequency of sessions when you schedule the first meeting.
