About me
Hey, I’m Ben! I’m a psychotherapist, but I’m a human first. I believe the relationship we build together is at the heart of therapy, where there’s room for honesty, curiosity, maybe even humour. Then there is everything else that comes with being human!
My approach is integrative and particularly influenced by Transactional Analysis (TA). I’m curious about how our experiences and relationships shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others and cope with life.
Together, we can take a closer look at the patterns that show up, understand where they may have come from and explore what you might want to do differently. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start.
I work with individuals and couples, in person in Hull or online. I work with experiences including grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes, or simply when something feels stuck.
Suicide loss and grief are areas I have particular professional and lived experience of. I understand that loss can reach into much more than bereavement, affecting relationships, families, identity and how we experience the world around us.
Outside the therapy room, I’m a cat dad, something of a coffee snob and happiest when I’m at the theatre or an art gallery.
I look forward to hearing your story.
