About Arben
Arben "Ben" Delija works from an integrative, person-centred viewpoint. He keeps sessions focused on what each person needs. Ben uses a mix of talking therapy approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression.
He has five years of formal counselling experience alongside many years supporting people with drug and alcohol concerns. That background means he knows practical steps for harm reduction and how group and one-to-one work can fit different needs.
Background and approach
Ben uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. He draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps when people want to change habits but feel stuck.
Sessions are relaxed and straightforward. He listens first, then suggests small, manageable steps to try between meetings. Work may include coping strategies for sleep and anger, ways to rebuild self-esteem, or targeted plans around addiction and relapse prevention.
Ben is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. He offers therapy in English and Albanian and works with people across the United Kingdom and beyond. Practical matters such as session type and frequency are agreed with each person.
People who want to start can expect clear, direct conversations about goals and options. Ben aims to make therapy fit everyday life so change can be sustainable.

Online support
He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which examines the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful habits by teaching practical skills and small experiments to change daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as work progresses. That means sessions can include skills practice, problem-solving tasks or deeper exploration depending on what the person wants to prioritise.
Online therapy here can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video is helpful for face-to-face style sessions, phone calls work when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact while fitting therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
