About Benjamin

Benjamin Raffles is an accredited and fully qualified counsellor (NCPS) with eight years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He trained and practised in community and private settings, launching a private practice in Somerset after developing a low-cost counselling service to improve access for people who might otherwise struggle to afford support.

His work follows an integrative philosophy that adapts proven methods to meet each person's needs. He draws on person-centred and Gestalt influences alongside Transactional Analysis and existential thinking to shape a therapeutic process grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration. That means sessions are tailored rather than formulaic, combining different techniques to fit the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Benjamin places the client experience at the centre of the work, believing people are the experts on their own lives while offering guidance, new ways of seeing situations, and careful challenge when needed. He supports people through issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes, and he works with related concerns including abandonment, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, panic and phobias, and questions about life purpose. His approach aims to make change achievable - from small shifts that ease daily life to deeper transformation when the client chooses to pursue it.

Integrative approaches available through online therapy

Benjamin uses a blend of therapeutic methods that translate well to online delivery. The person-centred approach focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client leads the conversation and explores their values, choices, and feelings - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, and life transitions. Gestalt work emphasizes present-moment awareness and experiential techniques to uncover patterns in relationships and behaviour, which can support people facing relationship difficulties, isolation, or emotional blocks. Transactional Analysis offers a clear framework for understanding communication and relational roles, helping with conflicts, boundary setting, and chronic patterns such as control issues or codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Benjamin collaborates with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to access regular support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area. These remote options allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care, adjust session formats as needed, and support progress in a way that fits the client's life.
