Ben Brett

In-person (face-to-face) and/ or Zoom counselling sessions are available, so you can choose how you would prefer us to meet.

As a professional therapeutic counsellor, I have the training and experience required to support you through the challenges you face.

With a calm and empathic nature, I offer a safe and confidential space to offload about, and explore the things that matter most to you.

Because I am not a part of your everyday life, you can feel more able to say what you REALLY think and feel about things, without fear of being judged or upsetting someone.

In your sessions we might talk about depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, abuse, relationships or bereavement - or something else.

There are no minimum or maximum number of sessions, so we can take things at your pace, with no rush and no pressure.

First steps

Getting started in counselling can feel like a step into the unknown, and therefore takes courage.

You might have questions about counselling, or the way I work, and we can begin discussing these by email, ’phone or text.

The next step is to book and meet for a first session, and if you're happy with everything, you can book regular sessions from there.

Couples counselling

I am qualified to work with individuals and also couples, whether married or not. Plus other relationships such as a parent and child, or work colleagues.

With a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision, I have the skills and competencies to provide clinical supervision for counselling practitioners.

Whether you operate in a counselling agency or an independent practice, and whether you are a trainee or qualified therapist, I offer robust supervision to meet this professional requirement.

Using the Seven-eyed Model approach to supervision, I work with counsellors based in a range of modalities.

The cost is £60 per hour (pro rata).
