About me
Hi! I'm Ben - an accredited psychotherapist working online across the UK and face-to-face from King's Lynn, Norfolk.
The Pattern
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they can see but struggle to change. They may find themselves caught in cycles of anxiety, fear, frustration, self-doubt, or constant worry despite their best efforts to move forward.
For some, these difficulties show up in romantic relationships. My clients find themselves replaying the same arguments, struggling to trust, fearing rejection, overthinking their partner's behaviour, or questioning whether a relationship is right for them. Others feel trapped between wanting closeness and fearing commitment, and being unsure why relationships seem harder than they should.
Some clients come to therapy after a breakup, wondering where things went wrong and blaming themselves for how it ended. Others feel stuck in relationships that look fine from the outside but leave them feeling disconnected, lonely, or unseen.
For others, the struggle began long before their current relationship. Perhaps they grew up around addiction, conflict, criticism, emotional unpredictability, or learned from an early age to put other people's needs before their own. They often became the responsible one, the peacemaker, or the person who learned not to ask for much from others.
I also work with people affected by addiction and compulsive behaviours, including pornography, alcohol use, and other coping strategies that may provide temporary relief but create longer-term difficulties. Together, we can explore not only the behaviour itself, but what may be driving it underneath.
Many of my clients have tried therapy before. Some gained useful coping strategies but still felt as though something deeper remained unresolved. My work is particularly suited to people who want to understand long-standing emotional and relationship patterns rather than simply manage symptoms.
My hope is that therapy helps you feel more confident in yourself, clearer in your decisions, and more able to build relationships where you can feel seen, secure, and safe.
What to Expect from Therapy
I work relationally -- meaning we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns together in a supportive and sometimes gently challenging space.
You won’t be met with passive nodding or quick fixes. Instead, we’ll look at how you got here, what’s not working anymore, and what needs to shift so you can feel more confident in your relationships.
Couples Counselling
I also work with couples who feel stuck in cycles of miscommunication, distance, or unresolved conflict. My approach draws from Bowenian family systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method, helping partners better understand their emotional patterns and rebuild trust and connection.
Whether you’re arguing too much (or not at all), feeling disconnected, or struggling to move past an event, we can work together to get to the heart of what’s going on and build something new from there.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
