About Benjamin
Benjamin Roberts is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who bring concerns such as addictions, relationship problems, low self-esteem and depression. He also lists experience supporting LGBT issues and people facing isolation or life changes like divorce.
Benjamin prefers a person-centred way of working. That means conversations focus on what is important to the client and on their own perspective. He also uses compassion-focused ideas to help people manage strong self-criticism and guilt.
He has experience supporting people with chronic health conditions, including CFS/ME, and with autistic people and those living with disabilities. He says he has worked across a broad range of mental health difficulties, including panic, post-traumatic stress and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use.
Sessions are described as a place to talk freely about what is on the mind for as long as needed. Benjamin values listening and aims to help clients feel heard while they think through next steps and coping strategies.
Practical work may include talking through relationship patterns, exploring feelings of shame or low self-worth, and planning steps to reduce addictive behaviours. He presents therapy as a collaborative process, with the client recognised as the expert in their life.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Benjamin uses person-centred practice, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the client. The counsellor listens, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their own goals and choices. This approach is often helpful for people who find it hard to speak up in new settings or who want a steady, listening presence.He also draws on compassion-focused ideas. These are practical ways to reduce harsh self-judgement and build gentler self-talk. That can be useful for people dealing with shame, guilt or low self-esteem, and for those struggling with recurrent anxiety or addictive habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Benjamin will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and centred on what the client wants to change or manage.
