About Ben
Ben Lashmore-Davies is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years’ experience working directly as a therapist, plus earlier roles in mental health, homelessness and addiction services. He helps people with stress and anxiety, addictions, family and relationship worries, grief, and issues with self-esteem and parenting. He also supports those facing trauma, anger, and life changes including career questions and financial strain.
Ben uses an integrative style, drawing on different ideas and methods to suit each person. He works in a conversational way that encourages people to talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.
He often helps people manage panic, paranoia, and relationship problems such as infidelity or attachment difficulties. He also addresses issues like body image, codependency, fatherhood concerns and substance misuse. This breadth of focus reflects earlier work in addiction and homelessness services.
Ben aims to be direct and interactive in sessions. He supports people to notice automatic reactions, try small changes, and build coping skills. He includes discussion of emotions, behaviour and practical problem solving.
People can expect to set clear goals together and review progress over time. Ben describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s preferences guide which methods are used. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom and follow the BACP registration standards.
How Ben approaches therapy online
Ben describes an integrative way of working that pulls together techniques to match what each person needs. This can include talking through thoughts and feelings, exploring patterns in relationships and behaviour, and practising small changes to reduce anxiety or addictive habits.He often uses cognitive-style techniques to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts, and behavioural methods to try small experiments that change how situations feel. These approaches suit concerns such as panic, social anxiety, low mood and compulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ben will discuss different options and decide together which methods to try based on the person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
