Hi All,

As most of you on this page will personally know me, you will probably know that I finish working for my corporate employer next month (currently 3 days a week) and go full-time as a counsellor.

So, I will have my own offices centrally, you will see me doing some promos around that soon. Behind the scenes I have been working on my website.

If anyone has a chance to have a look and pass me any comments, then it would be helpful - I mean, it is definitely a busy website (quite like my mind) but it has plenty of information and hopefully largely looks quite appealing.

As I say, if you get a chance have a look, and if you have a website that you want someone to have a look at and make any suggestions then I can return the favour.

Many thanks, Ben

Therapy isn’t just for one type of person—it’s for anyone who wants a space to talk things through, whether you’re facing relationship worries, family challenges, or just feeling a bit lost. Sometimes, having a counsellor with a different perspective can help you see things in new ways—no matter your background or what’s on your mind.

My approach is open and welcoming, especially for anyone who’s never tried therapy before. You’ll find a safe, warm space here—whether you want to talk about life, work, or anything in between.

Curious about how it works? Message me for a chat, no pressure.

Take care,
Ben

Remixing brilliant reel on why raves can feel like home for some neurodivergent people. As a therapist and lifelong raver (with ADHD myself), this really resonated with me.

There’s something about the energy at raves—the music, the lights, the freedom to move how you want—that can be so liberating. For many neurodivergent folks, these spaces offer a rare chance to just be, without the pressure of small talk or fitting into the “norm.” The predictability of the beat, the immersive sensory experience, and the sense of community can be comforting and even regulating.

Of course, not every ND person loves high-sensory environments—sometimes it’s all a bit much. But for those of us who crave that stimulation, raves can feel like a safe place to truly express ourselves.

I’ve always found that my background as a raver helps me connect with clients who might not feel at home in more “mainstream” settings. If you’re neurodivergent and looking for someone who gets it, you’re not alone. There’s no one “right” way to be ND, and there’s no one “right” way to find your joy.

Big thanks to for the inspiration—love seeing more conversations like this in our community.

Therapy that fits your real-life schedule.

Ever felt like getting support means rearranging your whole week? I get it. That’s why I offer sessions as early as 8am, or as late as 8:30pm—so you can talk things through before work, after dinner, or whenever life actually gives you a minute.

Whether you’re an early riser, a night owl, or just plain busy, there’s space here for you. No extra cost for those early or late slots—just a calm, welcoming room (or a walk in the park) when you need it most.

Curious if this could work for you? Drop me a message or book directly on my website.

Take care,
Ben ✌️

Ever wondered if therapy could feel lighter?

Imagine stepping out of the office and into Cheltenham’s golden parks—just you, me, and the sound of leaves underfoot. Sometimes, walking side by side makes tough conversations a little easier. Nature has a way of helping us breathe, reflect, and find calm, even on the hard days.

If you’re curious about walk and talk therapy, or just want a chat about how it works, drop me a message. It’s flexible, person-centred support—your pace, your way.

Take care,
Ben ✌️

Ever wondered if therapy could feel lighter?

Imagine talking things through while strolling under golden autumn leaves, instead of sitting across a desk. Walk and talk therapy lets you move at your own pace, breathe in Cheltenham’s fresh air, and share what’s on your mind—all with the same care and confidentiality you’d expect indoors.

It’s comfortable, flexible, and sometimes just feels easier.

Curious how it might work for you? Drop me a message or visit the website to find out more about walk and talk sessions in Cheltenham’s parks.

Take care,
Ben ✌️

I have a lot of respect for Gabor Mate and his very compassionate approach to psychology and counselling. I mean, him and Carl Rogers are my biggest influence.

Anyway, the video discusses a fascinating topic and as someone who practices using a mixture of Person Centred and Psychodynamic approaches, to me , it is very clear that we have learnt to become the person we are based on our experience so far.

Often the process of counselling just helps us to understand what is our stuff and what is learnt behaviour, the difficult bit being learning to trust in our own instincts about what is right or wrong.

Anyway, I liked so I shared.

Have a lovely weekend, Ben

Men, it’s okay not to be okay.

You don’t have to handle everything alone. Most of us were taught to keep it in, but talking—really talking—can be the first step to feeling lighter. I get how hard it is to open up, and that’s why I offer walk and talk therapy here in Cheltenham: no pressure, just a gentle stroll and honest conversation.

If you’re ready to talk (or just want to ask how it works), I’m here to listen.

Take care,
Ben ✌️

Early mornings or late nights—your choice.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just don’t have time for therapy,” you’re not alone. Life in Cheltenham gets busy, and sometimes the only quiet moments are before the world wakes up or after it finally slows down.

That’s why I offer sessions from 8am right through to 8:30pm—whether you’re an early riser, a night owl, or just need a space that fits your schedule. Walk and talk therapy in the parks, or a warm, private office—whatever works best for you.

Ready to find a time that actually works for you? Drop me a message or book directly on my website.

Take care,
Ben ✌️

Ever wondered if therapy could feel lighter?

Imagine a calm walk through golden autumn leaves, where you can talk things through at your own pace—no stuffy rooms, just fresh air and gentle steps. That’s the heart of Walk & Talk Therapy in Cheltenham.

Sometimes, moving side-by-side in nature makes it easier to open up (and you don’t have to make eye contact if you don’t want to!).

If you’re curious about trying a session outdoors, or just want to chat about what might help, drop me a message or visit the website below.

Take care,

Ever tried therapy while walking in nature?

Imagine sharing what’s on your mind while strolling through Sandford Park or Cox’s Meadow—fresh air, open space, and the gentle rhythm of walking can make it easier to talk. Many people find it less intense than sitting face-to-face in an office, and sometimes the simple act of moving helps untangle thoughts.

Worried about privacy? We choose quiet paths and pause if others are nearby, so you can feel comfortable and heard. Rainy day? I bring the umbrellas. 🌳

Curious how walk and talk therapy could work for you? Drop me a message or book a free intro call—let’s see if it’s a good fit.

Take care,
Ben ✌️

Men don’t always talk about feelings.

But that doesn’t mean we don’t have them—or that we don’t struggle. Sometimes, it just takes a different kind of space to open up. As a male counsellor, I get how hard it can be to take that first step, especially if you’ve been told to ‘just get on with it’ for years.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about giving you a place to be honest, heard, and human—without judgement. Whether you want to sit in a quiet room, or walk side-by-side in the park, you’re not alone here.

Curious about what it’s really like? Drop me a message, or check out the details on my website. I’m here to listen, whenever you’re ready. ✌️
