About Arben
Arben "Ben" Delija is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has five years of formal counselling experience and additional years supporting people with drug and alcohol problems. His practice addresses stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, grief and childhood trauma among other concerns.
Ben uses an integrative approach that blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. He also draws on attachment ideas and motivational interviewing when relevant. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as exploring patterns that keep problems repeating.
He has a long background working with people affected by drug and alcohol issues, emphasising harm reduction and both group and one-to-one work. That practical experience informs how he supports people with coping skills, relapse prevention and managing cravings alongside mood and relationship difficulties.
In sessions Ben offers clear structure and straightforward tools. He helps people notice patterns, try new responses and practise skills between sessions. Where needed he discusses how past relationships affect current reactions and uses that to shape workable plans.
Sessions are offered in English and Albanian, and Ben accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How Ben uses therapy approaches online
Ben commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in his practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and shaping conversations around what matters to the person. It helps bring clarity to feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test different responses.He also draws on elements of dialectical behaviour therapy, which teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer interpersonal communication. These skills can be useful for people managing strong emotions, addiction-related urges, or relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ben will discuss options with each person and agree on methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration helps ensure sessions focus on what feels most useful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in if needed, and remove travel time. They can also suit someone who prefers not to be on camera or who needs a quieter setting at a particular hour. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
