Benjamin Roberts

Benjamin Roberts is a counsellor who aims to make talking about difficult things easier. He welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, and focuses on making sure people feel heard. Benjamin uses a warm, respectful approach and treats each person as the expert in their own life.

He brings three years of professional experience and works with a wide range of concerns. He has particular experience supporting people living with chronic health conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis and people with autism spectrum conditions. He also lists work relating to relationship difficulties, self-esteem and issues tied to sexuality and LGBT identities.

Benjamin follows person-centred and compassion-focused ways of working. In practice this means sessions centre on what matters to the client, exploring thoughts and feelings at a pace the client sets, and offering kindness when shame or guilt are present. He aims to build trust so people can talk openly about what they are carrying.

Clients who come for support around addictions, panic, post-traumatic stress or process behaviours will find that sessions focus on understanding patterns and finding workable steps forward. He also supports people dealing with divorce and separation issues by helping them talk through practical and emotional impacts.

Benjamin works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. He encourages anyone considering therapy to take the first step and see whether the working relationship feels right.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Benjamin lists person-centred and compassion-focused approaches as core influences. Person-centred work centres the person's own priorities and uses reflective listening to help them clarify what matters. This approach can help when someone needs emotional space to explore decisions or relationships.

Compassion-focused work emphasises responding kindly to painful thoughts and shame. It involves gentle practices to reduce self-criticism and can be useful for issues like guilt, low self-worth, and some forms of anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what a person hopes to achieve and try different ways of working until they find what feels most helpful. Goals and methods are reviewed together as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility for people managing chronic illness or caring responsibilities. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you book to find sessions that suit your routine and needs.
