About Ben
Ben Warden uses cognitive and mindful approaches to help people make sense of painful thoughts and feelings. He draws on seven years of practice and his BACP registration to guide people toward clearer priorities and steadier emotional responses. Ben writes simply and directly so conversations stay practical and focused.
He helps people untangle anxiety, depression, ADHD and addictions by looking at how thoughts, behaviour and values connect. That often means spotting patterns that keep someone stuck and testing small changes to see what shifts.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and give maps for making decisions that matter to the person. Ben pays attention to relationship problems and how people relate to themselves. He explores attachment, communication and control issues alongside concerns such as intimacy, grief and anger.
Work can include coping strategies for eating, sleeping and compulsive behaviours as well as navigating separation or addiction recovery. Trauma-informed methods and mindfulness practices are used to calm the nervous system and make memories less activating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking and to build practical alternatives.
The overall focus is on what changes feel meaningful and sustainable in everyday life. Sessions are offered in English and Ben accepts international clients. He aims to work collaboratively, keeping plans straightforward and rooted in what people can actually do between meetings.

Approaches Ben lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration. Mindfulness can be helpful for stress, rumination and managing cravings or compulsive urges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ben will discuss your goals and preferences and then tailor methods together rather than imposing a single way of working. Sessions include reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan as you progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility across different formats - video calls for a fuller conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is lower, and live chat or text messaging for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and to keep momentum between sessions.
