About Ben
Ben Warden is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapies with clear, everyday goals. He works in ways that help people untangle anxious or low moods and identify what really matters to them. Ben uses straightforward conversations to help clients reduce internal conflict and bring thinking and feelings into better balance.
He focuses on the connection between anxiety, depression and the way people relate to others and to themselves. That means paying attention to patterns in relationships, habits, and responses to stress.
Background and approach
Ben encourages clients to spot how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour, then to try small changes that feel meaningful. Ben draws on cognitive and mindfulness approaches to help people manage distressing thoughts and bodily reactions. He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, values and life direction.
For those affected by difficult events, trauma-focused work helps slow reactions and build coping skills. Sessions are conversational and guided by what the person wants to achieve. Ben likes to set clear, manageable objectives so progress can be noticed between meetings.
He aims to make each session practical and relevant to day-to-day life. Ben holds BACP accreditation and has seven years of clinical experience. He offers help for a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, grief, sleep problems and low self-esteem.
Sessions are available online in English to people in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Approaches Ben lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared task. Ben will work with each person to choose which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see non-verbal cues and run deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines.
