I currently have availability for face-to-face sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays and online sessions Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 

Hi, I'm Ben

I’m a qualified counsellor based in Cheltenham and the Forest of Dean.

I work with people who want space to talk and think about what’s going on in their lives — whether that’s something specific, like an incident you just can’t seem to process, or longer-standing patterns, such as why you seem to end up in the same kinds of relationships.

Many of the people I work with are navigating complicated family relationships, experiences of past emotional or relational trauma, or patterns in relationships that continue to cause distress. I also welcome LGBTQ+ clients and offer a space where issues of identity, difference, and belonging can be explored openly.

I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor, trained over four years with Gloucestershire Counselling Services (accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP). As a registered member of the BACP, I work within their Ethical Framework, and I am DBS-checked for your peace of mind.

My background in nutrition counselling (BSc) can be especially helpful if you are struggling with food or body-related issues that you’d like to understand more deeply. I also support people experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and those who find it difficult to express themselves or manage emotions such as anger.

I bring lived experience of working as an escort over many years which shapes my work with particular sensitivity to survival, shame, power, and agency. Having been supported to understand the personal and relational contexts that made this work possible at that time, I offer a therapy space where similar experiences can be explored with care, dignity, and without judgement.

You may be going through a major life change—leaving home, becoming a parent, retirement—or seeking to explore your neurodivergence in a way that feels affirming and integrated. Whatever your situation, I offer a safe, inclusive space where you can be heard, understood, and supported. I am LGBT-affirmative and committed to respect, openness, and care in our work together.

Let’s talk…

A free 15-minute call gives you the opportunity to ask questions, hear how I work, and get a sense of whether I might be the right counsellor for you. From there, you can decide whether counselling feels like a useful next step.

I have availability for face-to-face sessions in Lydney on Tuesdays, and online session availability Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
