About Benjamin
Benjamin Isaacs is a counsellor with 18 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He also helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief and trauma.
He uses a calm, compassionate approach and aims to make therapy feel approachable and human. He trained and practised across care and support settings, working with vulnerable adults with a range of needs. That background informs his practical, down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
He blends talk therapy with attention to bodily sensations and mindfulness exercises. Benjamin draws on narrative and archetypal ideas to help people make sense of difficult experiences. He may invite discussion of personal stories, dreams and life themes to find new perspectives.
This can help when someone feels stuck, emptied or disconnected from themselves. Sessions tend to focus on building a steady therapeutic relationship. He brings kindness and curiosity into the room and encourages a gentle exploration of painful memories and current coping.
The work also looks at patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress. People meet him for both short-term and longer-term work. He explains methods plainly and collaborates with each person to shape goals.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for depression, low self-esteem and life transitions.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and bodily sensations. Simple practices in sessions can reduce rumination and help ground someone who feels overwhelmed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which combination of methods fits best. That choice is based on the person’s needs, goals and what feels most helpful in early sessions.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or times when speaking feels easier, live chat enables brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady therapeutic progress.
