Benjamin Roberts

Benjamin Roberts is a counsellor with three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He welcomes people who are feeling alone, overwhelmed or stuck and aims to create a warm, respectful space where they can be heard. Benjamin uses a person-centred stance that treats clients as experts in their own lives and places emphasis on kindness in the therapeutic relationship. He holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS in his profile.

Benjamin offers support for a wide range of concerns including depression, addiction, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. He also has experience helping people who live with chronic health conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and those on the autism spectrum. Isolation and loneliness are among the areas he focuses on, and he will talk through what is happening and how loneliness shows up day to day.

Sessions are built around what each person needs. Benjamin aims to listen fully and respond without judgement. He encourages clients to set the pace and to bring what matters most into the room.

Benjamin often uses compassion-focused ideas alongside person-centred work. This means paying attention to self-kindness, shame and guilt in practical, manageable ways. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns and practise small changes between sessions.

People come to him for help with addiction-related struggles, panic, post-traumatic stress and relationship strain. He also supports those dealing with family problems, divorce and the emotional fallout of illness. If you want to explore whether he is the right fit, Benjamin invites you to start a conversation.

Approaches and online working with a person-centred focus

Benjamin integrates person-centred work and compassion-focused ideas in straightforward ways. Person-centred counselling involves listening deeply and following what the client brings, helping them clarify feelings and goals. This approach is useful for people feeling stuck, lonely or unsure how to move forward. Compassion-focused techniques teach ways to respond to shame, guilt and self-criticism with more kindness and gentleness, which can help with depression, anxiety and issues linked to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to see which ideas fit their needs and goals. Over a few sessions they will review what helps and adjust the way they work together, so the plan evolves with the client's progress.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone choose a quieter environment at a convenient moment. It also makes it possible to keep continuity with a chosen therapist even when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while tailoring the pace and tasks to each person's situation.
