Ben Warden

Hello there and thanks for reading my profile. My method and ethos as a therapist and as a person are pretty much the same, and that's to help you unravel and unearth your essence, because it's here where your power lies and it's my job to help you find this part of you and the kind of confidence that comes with it, because you will have it, it's there. And if it means getting to know the day to day issues and the current pains and uncomfortabilities and worries then so be it, because this is still part of the package that's you, your shaping, but it's not necessarily what defines you either, so it's to try and gain a sense of self.

But as well as getting to know your pleasure, in order to find a necessarily tangible life focus, it's getting to know your pain better because yes whilst this might be manifested in anxious and depressive thinking at times, and we do need a deeper understanding and acceptance of this part of ourselves, this might be your guide and teacher at the same time.

Over the last six years and lot of experience with a whole variety of clients, ages and issues, psychotherapy is taking me on a fascinating journey of self discovery so yes we can find better short term solutions if things feel too much, but we can get to something deeper as well, so you'll have less need to get through time cos you'll want to experience it.

I offer face-to-face, phone and online therapy at £50 per session.

I can take cash, card and bank transfer payments.

Sessions run for 50 minutes. 

This is normally a weekly process, especially early on into therapy, but may then switch to fortnightly or monthly depending on results before therapy concludes.

If you have any questions at all around any of this then please feel free to contact me.

The first session will be a getting to know each other.

We will try to establish some goals or an agenda for therapy.

At your own pace, feel free to talk about whatever is on your mind. We will try to establish either what problems need to be solved, or which of your thoughts and/or feelings you would like to understand more about.

Towards the end of the session, I may give you a small task to do during the week. We will discuss what suits you, but it may be to note some thoughts down or to do a small activity.

At the end of the session, if you're happy to continue the process, then we can arrange a next session. Otherwise, you're free to go home and think about it first. Either way, feel free to contact me anytime.
