Ben Gold

I work on Wednesday evenings and Thursday daytimes and evenings. I work both face to face at the Homa Therapy Practice in Clerkenwell (near Angel Tube) and virtually on Zoom.

Outside of of regular hours, I can sometimes offer other times of the week if you only want to work virtually. Please contact me to discuss.

I am an approachable, dynamic and warm Person-Centred psychotherapist. I believe that, given the right conditions, we naturally move towards growth and fulfilling our potential. Working together in a therapeutic relationship, we will create a supportive space where you can meet yourself in a deeper and more meaningful way, at a pace that feels right for you. This allows time to explore the patterns, beliefs and behaviours that may be holding you back from being fully who you are. I bring over twenty years’ experience in leading personal development and group work into my therapeutic practice.

Alongside my psychotherapy work, I have spent many years in the corporate world of banking while also leading personal development and parenting work for over two decades. I am also part of the tutor team at Homa Psychotherapy Training, contributing to the training and development of future psychotherapists (www.homa.london). This varied background means I am confident and comfortable working with people from all walks of life, and with a wide range of life experiences and challenges.

I am an experienced parenting, couples and anger management coach. As a father of grown-up children, I understand first-hand the complexities and pressures of family life. My approach to parent coaching looks not only at a child’s behaviour, but equally at how we, as parents, respond, communicate and set boundaries. I believe it is when both of these elements are addressed together that respectful, trusting and lasting family relationships can truly develop.

Parenting and Couples

I have been working with parents, couples and men since 2008. I have facilitated ongoing Parenting Groups and Men’s Groups, and I have extensive experience working with men through my leadership roles with The Mankind Project UK&I.

Parent coaching sessions can take place in your home, making things easier for families with young children. I also work online via Zoom, by telephone, and offer walk-and-talk sessions on Hampstead Heath.

Walk and Talk Therapy

I recognise the importance of the outdoors and the role of the other-than-human world in our lives. Being in nature can help us feel grounded, open and connected in ways that are sometimes harder to access in a traditional therapy room. Walk and talk sessions offer the opportunity to work therapeutically while moving side by side, allowing conversation to flow naturally and at your own pace. I offer walk and talk sessions in North London, making use of the restorative qualities of green space, fresh air and movement to support reflection, insight and change.

I offer a free 30 minute Zoom chat where we get a chance to meet each other and get a feel for whether we would like to work together. Typically we would spend some initial time on the call with you explaining why you're reaching out and then some time asking me any questions you may have.
