About Benjamin
Benjamin Bamber welcomes people who are anxious, struggling with mood, or feeling stuck. He aims to make the first step easier by offering straightforward, practical help. Benjamin is a counsellor registered with the BACP and works in the United Kingdom.
He has three years of professional experience. Benjamin uses an approach that centres on the individual. He listens first and helps people set clear, short-term goals.
He then adds cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle distressing thoughts and unhelpful behaviour patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on simple strategies you can try between meetings. He supports people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and relationship strain. He also helps with issues such as body image, gender dysphoria, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
His background includes work with LGBT issues and other identity-related concerns. In sessions Benjamin aims to be practical and collaborative. He helps clients identify small steps that fit their life and values.
He encourages people to notice what works, adjust plans, and build on strengths. People can expect a calm, down-to-earth style. The work is straightforward: listening, planning, practising new skills, and reviewing progress.
Benjamin offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

Approaches Benjamin 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 cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT work is practical and goal oriented, useful for anxiety, low mood, unhelpful habits and some forms of stress and addiction. Techniques often include identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new ways of coping between sessions.
Choosing the right approach happens together. Benjamin will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as work progresses. He sees the plan as a shared project and checks in regularly to make sure the approach feels useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people talk face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options give more flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family or study commitments.
