Hi, I’m Ben

I work with adults who learned early that being needed, capable, or accommodating was safer than being fully themselves.

You may function well in the world — yet in close relationships find yourself disappearing, over-giving, or feeling quietly ashamed of your needs.

Our work explores how these patterns formed — not as weaknesses, but as intelligent ways you survived and belonged. Over time, this understanding can help you speak more freely, make different choices, and feel more confident in who you are.

You might be considering counselling if… 

  • You feel anxious, but it’s more of a background hum than a crisis.

  • You find it hard to assert yourself without guilt.

  • You repeat relationship patterns you don’t fully understand.

  • You’re the one others rely on — but rarely feel fully seen.

  • You want deeper self-understanding, not just coping strategies.

You may sense there is more to your difficulties than stress or circumstances, and feel curious about what lies beneath.

Let’s talk…

I offer a free 15-minute call so you can get a sense of how I work and whether we would feel comfortable working together. You don’t need to know exactly what you want from counselling — curiosity is enough.

Much of my work centres on identity, relational trauma, and the subtle ways we lose ourselves in order to belong. Change happens through the relationship we build together, and at a pace that feels right for you.

I welcome clients of all genders, sexualities, and neurotypes, including LGBTQ+ clients.
