About Ben
Ben Warden uses straightforward talking therapies to help people make sense of how they think and feel. He draws on approaches that focus on thought patterns, meaning, and present-moment awareness to help people move from getting stuck to making choices they care about. Ben holds BACP accreditation, and he works from a clear, down-to-earth stance.
He helps people untangle anxiety, depression, ADHD and addiction by linking what they do with what they value.
Background and approach
That often begins with small steps to bring thinking and behaviour into better balance. Ben aims to reduce the sense of being at war with yourself by setting clear, achievable goals that matter to the individual. Conversations often look at relationships with others and with oneself.
Ben listens for how attachment, control and communication fill someone’s daily life. He then uses that information to shape practical experiments and new ways of responding to triggers and difficult feelings. He also supports people facing grief, trauma, changes at work, problems with sleep or eating, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Sessions include discussions about coping, spotting unhelpful patterns, and learning simple skills for emotional regulation. Ben brings seven years of experience to his practice in the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Approaches Ben lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Ben works online
He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy, teaching simple practices that help settle attention and reduce reactivity to difficult feelings. These skills can support sleep, stress and self-regulation when practised day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ben collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining short behavioural experiments, meaning-focused reflection and mindfulness exercises over a number of sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It can also make some interventions easier to layer into everyday life, such as guided mindfulness practices and homework between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can explain options and help you choose an arrangement that suits your schedule and goals.
