About Benjamin
Benjamin ('Beni') Fleischer helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. He works with those coping with grief, anger, trauma, bipolar difficulties and relationship concerns. He also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, codependency, hoarding and problems around commitment or infidelity.
Beni describes the relationship people have with themselves as central to change. He uses a calm, listening style that encourages clients to notice both what is obvious and what lies beneath the surface of their feelings and behaviour.
How Benjamin works
Sessions aim to make hidden patterns clearer so people can make different choices in daily life. His approach draws on client-centred conversation, psychodynamic ideas about past experience, and solution-focused exercises to help people move forward. That mix lets conversations go deep when needed and focus on practical steps between sessions.
He aims for straightforward language and gentle challenge rather than jargon. Beni trained and practised in settings including the NHS, and he brings six years of counselling experience to his work. He follows the ethical framework of the BACP, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sessions are available in English, Hebrew and Yiddish and Beni accepts international clients. He supports people at their own pace and pays attention to each person’s unique history and needs.

Online therapy approaches and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the client leads the conversation. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions; this approach suits people who need empathy and understanding to build self-trust.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships. It helps uncover repeating patterns that cause distress and can be useful for issues like long-term anxiety, relationship difficulties or unresolved grief.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. It is useful when someone wants short-term ideas they can try between sessions to feel better and gain control.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt the work accordingly. Many people find a mix of talking about the past and focusing on immediate changes works best, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to in-person conversation, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection without real-time scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
