About Benjamin
Benjamin Isaacs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship problems. He supports those coping with grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting and career difficulties. He also works with people dealing with trauma, eating issues, bipolar mood challenges and questions of identity including LGBT concerns.
Benjamin brings 18 years of practice to sessions and holds BACP accreditation, which he uses as part of his professional standing. He aims to meet people with kindness and a calm presence.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and are straightforward and conversational. His approach draws on existential ideas alongside attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working. He pays attention to life meaning, personal responsibility and the ways past relationships shape current problems.
This helps when people feel stuck, empty or disconnected. Benjamin also uses Jungian ideas about images and myth, and mindfulness practices that attend to bodily sensations. Dreams and imagination may be invited into the work when relevant.
The emphasis is on practical conversation and noticing what changes in day-to-day life. He previously worked in the care and support sector supporting vulnerable adults with a range of needs. That background informs a patient, steady style in sessions.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when people feel empty, stuck or unsure about their direction in life by encouraging honest reflection about values and what matters to them.Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships affect feeling safe and connected. It can help people spot patterns in relationships, improve communication and heal from hurts that keep repeating.
Client-centred therapy offers a warm, accepting space where the person sets the pace. The counsellor listens without rushing, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions through respectful conversation.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of therapy. Benjamin will work collaboratively to choose what feels most useful for each person, checking in about goals and preferences as the work continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see expressions and use face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, managing busy schedules or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to arrange regular sessions around work, childcare and travel.
