Ben is a trauma informed integrative psychotherapist assisting people appreciate who they are and what they want to become.
Many of us have old stories and ways of being which get in the way of uncovering and recognising our unique gifts to ourselves and the world. Ben is passionate about helping people flourish through reaching their potential in personal mission, vocation, self development, and relationships.
He does this by helping clients with anxiety, depression, meaning and purpose, relationships and interpersonal issues, grief and loss, life stage transition, role transition, and spiritual Emergence.
Ben looks to develop a therapeutic relationship in which he works together with clients to discover and clarify the goals of therapy, as well as how the time together is shaped. He holds this collaboration with patience, kindness and compassion so as to create a safe and trustworthy space with room for curiosity, exploration and care.
Ben's therapeutic presence is informed by Person-centred, Humanistic, Existential, Attachment, Sensorimotor, Psychodynamic, Ecotherapy, Metacognitive, and Mentalisation-based schools of thought, as well as twelve years experience with earth ritual, rites of passage, and eco therapy practices.
Along side an interest in life stage transition, Ben is particularly interested in how psychotherapy can work hand-in-hand with soulcentric, spiritual, and ritualistic modalities in order to help
integrate and make good sense of the gifts and lessons of transpersonal experiences. Ben's passion for this integrative approach is in service to his mission to support the flourishing of individuals, community and the planet.
