Tobias Benedetto, BACP

Tobias Benedetto focuses his practice on supporting people who want to move beyond addiction and build more balanced lives. He frames addiction as a complex condition that touches mind, body, and spirit, and he offers a calm, non-judgmental environment where individuals can examine the underlying causes of addictive behaviour and develop practical strategies for recovery. With three years of professional experience and training in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Tobias works collaboratively to create tailored plans that emphasise resilience, healthier relationships, and meaningful daily routines.

He places particular emphasis on transition points in recovery - for example leaving formal treatment or re-engaging with everyday life - and provides relapse prevention work to help clients prepare for and manage challenges. Tobias combines his formal training with lived experience that he says deepens his practice, treating counselling as both a professional vocation and a personal calling. He is accredited with BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he offers services from the United Kingdom while accepting international clients. His approach values progress over perfection, recognising that each small step forward is an important part of lasting change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Addiction Support

Online therapy with Tobias draws on evidence-based techniques that are practical and focused on recovery. One core approach is relapse prevention planning - this involves identifying triggers, developing step-by-step coping strategies, and preparing for high-risk moments so clients can navigate transitions more confidently. Another key strand is skills-based coping work, which teaches concrete tools for managing urges, regulating emotions, and rebuilding daily routines to support sustained change. A further area of focus is exploratory work into underlying causes, helping clients understand patterns and relationships that contribute to addictive behaviours and opening pathways for healing.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tobias treats that choice as collaborative. He will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time to find what fits best. Online formats make this flexibility easier to achieve.

Therapy can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit around work, family, or travel. These options increase accessibility for people in different locations and help maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of where a client is based.
