   Ben was incredible. He immediately put my daughter at ease and had a good rapport with her. This also reassured myself me and her dad that he was absolutely the right person to help her. Thank you for taking such good care of her and putting a smile back on her face x

   I was a little nervous to post this publicly but for people who are looking into working with Ben it’s key to hear from others who have already worked with him. Ben is brilliant. Right from our first appointment I knew I was speaking to the right person for me. Ben never judged me and made me feel totally comfortable. Because Ben is such a warm and kind character speaking to him and being totally honest is really easy and whilst sometimes we were discussing difficult topics I always felt that I could trust him. Appointments were over zoom and without fail no matter how difficult the session was I was always elated afterwards. I felt happier and lighter right from the get go and this continued over the course of our appointments. I think this feeling of happiness probably comes from me feeling listened to and Ben giving me the space to get things off my chest. Of course, as with everything, there were times where I took one step forward and two steps back but with Ben didn’t lose faith in me and helped me work past these. With Ben I’ve learnt techniques and theory that has helped me with OCD and intrusive thoughts - amongst other things. I’m in such a better place now than when I started working with him. I’m thankful for the experience and guidance that he has provided me with over the last few months. He really is a fantastic therapist and a lovely person too.

   Ben was absolutely brilliant with my daughter - he explained how everything would work very clearly at the outset - she feels much better now and doesn’t panic anymore - he sent through great reading after each session. I’m so grateful for his great help for my daughter and our family. Thoroughly recommended, thank you!

   Ben made a real difference with our son. His therapy is well thought out to make positive changes. Our son felt very comfortable talking with him through his issues to achieve a resolve.

   I'd previously had counselling and not found it particularly helpful. I met with Ben online and he helped me understand the difficulties I was experiencing and how we would work together in therapy which gave me much more confidence in working with him and resulted in me achieving the goals we set out in therapy

   Input from Ben was beneficial. Improvements seen in my mood and how I felt about myself. I'd recommend Ben if you were contemplating seeking help.

   Our daughter (now11) has suffered from OCD and extreme anxiety since the age of 7. This was related to a fear of germs and getting ill. She also developed a fear of anything touching her mouth and was imagining things were touching her mouth that were not anywhere near her. She had seen a number of therapists with little progress being made. When she turned 11, her condition became extremely debilitating. She was unable function normally on a day to day basis - eating and washing became extremely problematic. She unable to take part in activities and events like school sports days that her peers were enjoying as she became so distressed. Our family life was miserable. Ben built up a rapport with our daughter immediately. He helped her understand her anxieties. In the sessions he would get her to complete activities to challenge her anxiety. The impact of these sessions has been life-changing. Thanks to Ben we have our daughter back, who is happily enjoying life on secondary school and able to incredibly normal things - like eat a packet of crisps with her fingers.
