About Benjamin
Benjamin Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to offer a warm, listening space for people feeling overwhelmed. He presents himself as approachable and caring, and wants clients to feel heard from the first session. Benjamin highlights the value of making the effort to seek help and respects the time and energy that involves.
He describes his style as person centred and compassion focused, which means conversations are guided by the client and by kindness rather than by heavy techniques. Sessions are practical and down to earth; he encourages people to talk about whatever is on their minds and to set the pace that suits them. Benjamin notes experience with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, and lists panic disorder and panic attacks among his focus areas.
Benjamin also works with people who live with chronic health conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and with autistic adults. He mentions experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, separation and complex emotional issues like guilt and shame. The emphasis is on listening, understanding and helping people find manageable ways forward.
With three years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, Benjamin aims to create a steady, non-judgemental presence in sessions. He invites potential clients to talk further so they can decide if his approach feels like a good fit. He encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Benjamin uses person centred and compassion focused ways of working. Person centred practice means the counsellor listens closely and follows what the client brings to the session, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Compassion focused work helps people develop gentler ways of relating to themselves, which can ease shame, guilt and harsh self-criticism.These approaches are about working together to find what helps. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will adapt sessions as those needs become clearer. Deciding on techniques is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy can fit more easily into a busy week and reduce travel time, making it simpler to keep appointments. Different session arrangements suit different people, so please confirm current session options before booking; the therapist's profile does not list specific formats. The practical aim is to make therapy manageable alongside everyday responsibilities and to find a rhythm that supports steady progress.
