About Ben

You’ve landed here because you want to transform

You’re ready to stop moving backward and start moving forward. It takes tremendous courage to let go of the past and imagine a different future for yourself.

My treatment approach will help you regain control. Without judgment, we’ll explore your experiences, identify the sources of your challenges, and address them. You will learn new tools to overcome your problems and develop strategies to start living the happy life you deserve.

My three-step approach

Start living the life you deserve

1. Strong relationship

I truly believe that change happens when you have a strong personal connection with your counsellor. I am honest, passionate, and welcoming. I will be with you every step of the way.

2. Personalised to fit you

I take a whole-person, whole-picture approach. This means we will collaborate to develop a strategy that works specifically for you, rather than trying to fit you into a predefined box.

3. Outcome-based services

I believe lasting change is essential. This means you will learn new tools and strategies, and we will continuously adjust them to suit your needs. Our goal is to enhance the quality of your life both during and after counseling.

A non-judgemental space where you are free to be yourself.
