About Benjamin
Benjamin Isaacs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with grief, eating concerns, parenting strain, bipolar mood challenges and issues around identity and self-esteem. He works with matters linked to trauma and abuse, and with people questioning their place after major life changes.
Benjamin brings a warm, humane manner to sessions. He aims for conversations that feel honest and grounded.
Background and approach
He draws on narrative and archetypal ideas alongside mindfulness to help people notice patterns and find new perspectives. His approach pays attention to relationships and attachment. That means looking at how early connections shape current feelings and reactions.
He also uses Jungian and existential ideas to explore meaning, identity and inner parts of the self. Mindfulness and gentle body awareness are practical tools he offers to reduce overwhelm. Dream material and creative imagination may be invited into the conversation when helpful.
The aim is to link thoughts, feelings and bodily sense so change feels embodied rather than only intellectual. Benjamin has practised for 18 years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has a background supporting adults with a range of care needs alongside his therapeutic work.
If someone wants to begin, the process usually starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session.

Online support
Client-Centred work focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters to the person. This creates space for people to name their priorities and move at their own pace during video or phone sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to breath, body sensations and present-moment noticing. Simple practices offered online can reduce anxiety, help with cravings linked to addiction, and support mood regulation between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's goals, needs and preferences, and will revisit the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Benjamin uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to make sessions flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and working with emotional cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing, want brief check-ins, or need to work things through outside scheduled calls.
