About Benjamin
Benjamin Roberts is a counsellor who introduces himself with warmth and straightforward care. He makes listening his priority and aims to create a welcoming space where people can speak openly. He acknowledges the effort it takes to start therapy and treats that step as important.
Benjamin uses his NCPS credential to inform his practice and brings three years of experience to his work. He prefers a person-centred way of working, so sessions focus on what matters to the individual.
Background and approach
He also uses compassion-focused ideas to help people reduce self-criticism and build self-kindness. In practice this means calm, steady conversations that explore feelings and practical ways to cope. Benjamin has supported people with a wide range of concerns.
These include addictions, relationship troubles, low self-esteem, depression and issues around sexuality. He has also worked with people managing chronic illness, neurodivergence such as autism and practical problems linked to divorce or separation. Sessions usually aim to help people feel heard, clarify what they want to change, and find steps to move forward.
Benjamin encourages clients to set the pace, whether they want short-term help or a longer period of support. He believes the client is the expert on their life and that therapy is a collaborative process. He works in the United Kingdom and carries out therapy in English.
For people considering therapy, he invites a conversation to see if the working style is a good fit before committing to further sessions.

How Benjamin works online
He also draws on compassion-focused ideas to address harsh self-judgement and shame. Those techniques use gentleness and practical exercises to help people build more supportive self-talk and calmer responses to difficult emotions. This can be useful for issues like depression, shame, or stress linked to chronic health problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences, and he will adapt the way sessions run based on what helps most. Clients are invited to feedback so the plan can change as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. That will clarify how to fit sessions into your week and what practical arrangements are needed. Many people find online or remote sessions help them schedule therapy around work, healthcare appointments or caring responsibilities and make it easier to maintain regular contact without extra travel.
