About Me
Hi, I’m Ben,
​​​​​
I work with people who want things to finally change, not just to understand themselves better but to actually feel different in their lives.
​
Many of the people I meet have already done a lot of thinking. They can see their patterns, but something still feels stuck. Together, we start to understand what keeps those patterns in place and what needs to shift for real change to happen.
My approach, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), is active and collaborative. We pay attention to what’s happening in the moment because that’s where the deeper patterns tend to reveal themselves and where new possibilities begin to open up.
​
Before training in ISTDP, I worked in CBT and psychodynamic therapy. Those experiences helped me see the limits of insight alone. Real transformation happens when understanding is met with experience, when you start to live from a more honest and connected place within yourself.
​
I offer sessions online across the UK and in person in Nottingham.
If you’re ready to stop repeating the same patterns and begin moving toward real change, I’d be glad to help you take that step.

EXPERIENCE
I have over 15 years of experience working as a therapist, supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including:
Anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, trauma, and the impact of life events.
Alongside my private practice, I’ve worked as a psychotherapist and supervisor within the NHS and at several universities in the UK.
This breadth of experience allows me to adapt the work to suit different needs, personalities, and stages of life.
