About Benjamin
Benjamin Roberts is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing depression, addiction, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and LGBT-related issues. Benjamin also lists additional focus areas such as chronic illness, autism spectrum conditions and a range of trauma-related problems.
Benjamin describes a person-centred style that puts the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. He values straightforward conversation and makes room for people to talk about whatever is on their mind. He aims to listen carefully and respond without judgement so clients can explore what matters most to them.
In practice sessions tend to be conversational and paced to the client. Benjamin works with common problems like stress, panic, low motivation and isolation, and with longer-standing issues such as chronic health conditions and addiction patterns. He supports people dealing with separation, grief, guilt and shame, and sexual or identity concerns.
He has experience supporting people with autism spectrum conditions and those living with chronic pain or illness. That experience informs how he adapts conversations and sets realistic goals together with each person.
Benjamin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and person-centred ways of working. He asks questions, reflects back what he hears and helps people map small, practical steps they can try between sessions. He encourages people to take the pace that feels manageable for them.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Benjamin uses evidence-based methods in his work. Person-centred practice focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says. It helps with building clarity about difficult decisions, identity questions and relationship patterns.Compassion focused work explores how people relate to themselves. It offers practical steps to reduce self-criticism and increase kinder self-talk, which can help with shame, guilt and low self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences and adjust the way sessions run as therapy progresses. The aim is to find practical techniques that suit the person rather than following a fixed plan.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking. The practical advantages of online work include fitting sessions around study or shifts, having shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoiding travel to attend a session. These aspects can make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside early-adult commitments such as work, study and caring responsibilities.
