About Ben
Ben Lashmore-Davies is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has six years' experience as a practising therapist and more than a decade working in mental health, homelessness and addiction services. Ben aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them.
He helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with family problems, parenting strains, intimacy issues, anger, career stress and life changes. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, codependency, fatherhood issues and problems linked to money or isolation. Ben describes his approach as integrative, which means he uses ideas and methods that suit each person rather than one fixed formula.
He takes an interactive style that encourages self-exploration and learning how to be kinder to oneself. Sessions aim to help people understand painful patterns and build practical ways to manage day-to-day life. Clients can expect straightforward, down-to-earth conversations that focus on what they want to change.
Ben works to support people through difficult times and to help them move towards calmer, more fulfilling lives. He trained at Leeds Beckett University and brings experience from both therapy practice and wider mental health services. Ben works in English and does not offer sessions to international clients.

How Ben works online
Another common strand in his practice is practical problem-solving. This involves identifying patterns that cause distress and testing simple strategies to reduce symptoms such as panic, anxiety or low mood. These steps can include managing triggers, building routines and developing clearer communication skills for relationships.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Ben will discuss options with each person and adapt methods as therapy progresses so goals and techniques stay aligned with needs and preferences.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as these are not listed in the profile. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, fewer travel demands and more flexibility around work or family commitments.
