Our Therapy ServicesAs a therapist.
I offer short-term and open-ended Existential psychotherapy face-to-face but predominantly online with global clients.

Benny

Existential psychotherapy explores your lived experiences and how your worldviews, being with yourself and others may have been informed by your lived experiences. This exploration includes but not limited to the contexts and encounters that informed your understanding of and relationship with your body, sense of self, relationships with others, and the world around you.

My practice embraces all individuals, couples, groups, family systems, co-parenting, parent-child relationships, and young adults but NOT children under the age of 13 years old.

I work with clients to explore their dilemmas, interpersonal adversities ad trauma, and their presenting life challenges and with consideration with their past, present and future in the here-and-now. Sometimes this can involve confronting and making sense of the fundamentals of our human existence.

Through therapy, we aim to find greater insight, build the internal resources that clients need to make the changes they so desire for a self-fulfilled purposeful and personal value reflecting lives, to build new forms of relationships with others.

My clients are from across all gender identities and sexuality, neuro divergent and LGBTQ+ communities, from Black and Asian communities and across all works of life. I also have a background in working with people who have societal, institutional, and interpersonal experiences of trauma, discrimination and prejudice based on their gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. I am a trained culture informed practitioner and understands the psychological impact of being a member of a minority group, acculturation, migration, marital and family relationship issues.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP), a member of UPCA, Society of Existential Analysis (SEA), The Black African Asian Therapy Network (BAATN), and British Psychological Society BPS (GMBPSS). I use the UKCP and BACP Ethical Frameworks to guide my practice, attend regular supervision, and use additional CPD training to continue to develop and deepen my work.

Whilst I am an Existential Psychotherapist, I am also humanistic-existential practitioner, Integrative and draw from contemporary systemic, DBT, Schema therapy, ACT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy and Narrative forms of practice. I incorporate Spiritual/ Christian Therapy for Christian clients who opt for the service.

I am a Speaker, Mentor, DCPSYCH 4th year student at NSPC/Middlesex University and a Domestic and Sexual Violence Advocate, and Advocate for family system related mental health issues.

The Way I Practice.Preparing for Your Coaching, Consultation or Therapy Session

Where you choose to engage in therapy can significantly impact the quality of your session. Ensure that you're in a secure and private environment, free from disturbances and the risk of being overheard or distracted is of utmost importance. Your sessions are entirely confidential, and I will also be in a private setting to ensure your privacy.
It's also a thoughtful practice to have a glass of water or ay drink of your choice but not alcohol to suit your thirst and tissues, as emotional exploration can sometimes lead to intense feelings.

Successfull stories
and client testimonials

I had heard great things of Celeste's coaching and work

I was paired with Bene, and have found our time together to be really enriching, thought-provoking, and challenging (in a good way). I connected with her therapeutic approach, and together we were able to discuss some philosophical approaches to the bigger questions of existence and living that I found really intellectually stimulating, and that helped me come to terms with why I had thus far been feeling so at odds with a lot of aspects of my life.

ANN S

I send my huge gratitude to Bene!

She was also very kind and gentle, and created a space where I felt welcomed and that I could speak about anything with her. I am leaving therapy feeling a lot more resilient, less anxious, and with a far better understanding of myself and how to approach my life in ways that align better with my values as a person. I send my huge gratitude to Bene!

Astrid Coaching is THE BEST

I started working with Bene in approx. May last year. I came to the Astrid Coaching Centre hoping to engage with a therapist on a more long-term basis, as previously I had only done short courses of CBT therapy to help with anxiety/depression and panic attacks, and whilst they were helpful in providing me with some tools, I felt they didn’t address the root issues. I was hoping to spend time digging into deeper-held beliefs and behavioral patterns.

Wow! Love it!

Benny was an amazing therapist. She was kind, caring and warm. She was entirely non judgmental and I felt I could be my full self around her. Her calm energy definitely rubbed off on me during the sessions and I always came away feeling better than when I went in. I cannot thank her enough for guiding me on my journey.

 

Thank you! I will miss you! L

 

She is the real deal for improved well being.

Benny has been tremendously supportive in my therapeutic journey, her warmth, understanding clarity, and authentic presence has been very helpful in rediscovering myself, my personal values and passion. I have truly grown from who I was to who i desire to be and a lot fulfilled happy and less psychological challenges. I owe my thanks and gratitude to Benny and would recommend her to anyone who is willing and genuinely ready to do the work. She is the real deal for improved well being.

Warm regards,
BRUCE LEGGERS

Thank you for a fabulous 10-week transformation!

Seeking culturally informed counselling psychology and psychotherapist led me to work with Benny, she came highly recommended and I am grateful that I held on. Amidst my cultural stipulations and expectations, I can now live my beliefs, clues and be authentic with myself and others in my being. I am a lot more present in my choices and understand that my freedom is my opportunity to express my truth and be take responsibilities that reflect me and my values. I now have a voice and relate better with my family and social network. My work-life balance has improved and I am grateful to Benny for her expertise in my area of need. My life has truly changed and I am a lot happier with my life. V

Warm thanks,
VEE
