About Toby
Toby "Benjamin" Stimpson uses an integrative counselling approach that blends techniques to suit each person’s needs. Benjamin is a non-binary counsellor with six years of practice and over 1400 hours of direct client work. They focus on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and coaching for adults aged 18 and over.
Benjamin helps people notice patterns that cause repeated problems in relationships and with the self. Sessions aim to make those patterns clearer and create practical steps to change them.
Background and approach
Benjamin has practised in both Canada and the United Kingdom, bringing experience from different cultural contexts to their work. People often come for help with body image, shame and guilt, attachment questions, or difficulties around sex and kink. Benjamin also supports those navigating gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS related challenges, immigration concerns, and aging or geriatric issues.
They work with issues linked to family of origin, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns. Treatment is tailored and collaborative. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.
Coaching-style work is available for people who want tools and accountability alongside emotional support. Sessions are offered in English and use formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Benjamin holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed as provided.

Online support
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Benjamin will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. They adapt the plan as you go, checking in to see what helps and what needs changing so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat offers back-and-forth support in writing, and text-based messaging can fit around busy days or provide ongoing prompts between sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
