About Benjamin
Benjamin Ng is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and ten years of experience. He works with people feeling stuck by anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship problems, and issues around identity and self-worth. He offers direct, attentive sessions that balance warmth with gentle challenge.
People often come because something in their life or relationships isn’t sitting right and they want a clearer way forward. Benjamin uses a blend of approaches to suit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
He helps map patterns that keep repeating and links them to life events and relationships. That way, sessions focus on what actually helps now rather than only looking back. His practice attends to diversity in ethnicity, sexuality, culture and gender identity, and he considers the wider social and systemic pressures people face.
He aims to create a room where difficult feelings can be named without pressure to perform. Sessions are conversational and practical. He will listen closely, ask direct questions, and offer experiments or exercises where helpful.
He will not push someone before they are ready, but will work to identify what is keeping them stuck. Benjamin supports people through changes such as separation, caregiving stress, bereavement, career shifts, and recovery from substance use. He is particularly interested in attachment, abandonment and family-of-origin issues, and how these shape current relationships.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and difficult emotions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier focus, which often helps with stress and low mood. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and early relationships to make sense of present difficulties and where they come from.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful based on current goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short break. Live chat or text can suit regular check-ins or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These formats make it simpler to schedule support around work, caregiving or travel.
