About me

Hello, my name is Benjamin and I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach providing one-on-one therapy and coaching to adults and to groups. I offer therapy sessions face-to-face in Hackney and Islington, London and online. I also offer therapy and coaching sessions in nature on Hackney Marshes throughout the year.

Life can present us with challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about our path forward. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, identity questions, or the ongoing effects of major life changes, therapy offers a unique way to explore and understand your experience. I offer a warm, accepting space for you to explore any issues that are troubling you. Contact me for a free 20 minute phone or video call to discuss what brings you to therapy or coaching and how I might support you, and you can read more about the process of starting therapy here.

As well as face-to-face and online therapy you can read more about the nature-based therapy and coaching I offer.

Getting Started

I welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life. My practice is inclusive and affirming, recognising that each person's journey is unique. Contact me to arrange either a brief initial conversation or to book your first session directly - whichever feels right for you.

Many clients find that therapy and coaching helps them feel more grounded, authentic, and connected to their own inner wisdom. The skills and awareness you develop in our work together become resources you can draw upon long after our sessions end, supporting ongoing growth and resilience in your daily life.
