About Benjamin
Benjamin Ng helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship problems and low self-worth. He also supports people dealing with identity questions and intimacy-related issues. Benjamin’s approach is practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on listening closely and naming what matters in a calm way.
Benjamin works in a warm, grounded style that can also be gently challenging when useful. He aims to create a space where difficult feelings and stories can be shared without judgement.
How Benjamin works
He will not push a person before they are ready, but he will notice when something feels stuck and bring it into the conversation. He uses a mix of therapies to help make sense of patterns and find helpful steps forward.
That means tracing where difficulties come from, looking at how relationships shape behaviour, and using present-focused work to change what isn’t working now. Sessions tend to blend reflection with small, real-life experiments people can try between meetings. Benjamin has ten years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which reflects his professional standing in the United Kingdom.
He has worked with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue, parenting stress and career changes. He is mindful of how culture, gender and sexuality shape a person’s experience. People describe his practice as direct but compassionate, useful for those who want depth without unnecessary jargon.
He offers sessions in English and works with adults seeking a thoughtful, collaborative way to tackle their difficulties. If someone wishes to begin, the typical route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Online support options
Approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting taken over by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and present-moment noticing to reduce reactivity and build calm; it often helps with stress, rumination and emotional overwhelm. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and the stories people carry from the past, helping to understand why certain reactions keep happening in relationships and life choices.Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean using one method at first, combining techniques, or adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different situations. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins and timely support possible between longer sessions. These options can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and access regular support from a registered or accredited professional.
