About Tricia
Tricia Benson is a counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Tricia aims to provide a calm, respectful space where people can speak openly and be heard without judgement.
She keeps the pace gentle and follows the client’s lead. Sessions focus on what is troubling you now, while also noticing how past events might be affecting today.
Background and approach
The work is conversational and reflective rather than directive. Tricia has worked alongside UK charities and services such as Age Concern, AXA Health, MindWorks and the Wandsworth Bereavement Counselling Service. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of issues and life stages, informing a practical, adaptable way of working.
People come to Tricia for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma, sleep problems, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem and work-related concerns. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, caregiver stress, isolation and seasonal affective disorder.
Therapy sessions use a person-centred stance combined with psychodynamic ideas about past influences and attachment-based thinking about relationships. Tricia listens closely, helps people reflect on patterns, and supports practical changes that fit everyday life. If you are unsure about starting, she encourages a brief conversation to see whether the approach feels right.

Approaches Tricia 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
Client-centred therapy puts the client’s experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens without directing, helping the person to explore feelings, build self-understanding and make decisions that match their values.
Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences influence present behaviour and emotions. In online conversations this can uncover recurring patterns, unresolved losses or hidden conflicts that affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Tricia will work alongside you to choose methods that fit your needs, goals and preferences. She adapts her way of working as those needs change, so the plan can evolve over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
