About Ben
Ben Lashmore-Davies is a UK-based counsellor registered with the BACP. He writes plainly and listens carefully so people can set out what feels hardest right now. Ben aims to make sessions easy to follow and down-to-earth for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life.
Ben trained at Leeds Beckett University and brings six years of therapy practice alongside a longer history working in mental health, homelessness and addiction services. That background means he has experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction concerns.
Background and approach
He also supports those dealing with grief, family strain, relationship problems and anger. He uses an integrative approach, drawing on different ideas and methods depending on each person. Sessions tend to be interactive, with space for self-exploration and developing more self-compassion.
Ben focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through feelings in the room. People often come with worries about work, money or parenting, or with struggles around intimacy, isolation or past trauma. Ben helps map what matters most, then works with people to set small, achievable goals.
He believes most people can move towards calmer, more satisfying lives with steady support. Ben offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He describes his role as a supportive guide who helps people find the best path for their situation.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ben will discuss your goals, try out different methods and adjust what he uses as your therapy progresses. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and shaped by what helps you feel clearer and more able to cope.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and seeing non-verbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and regular support.
