About Arben

Arben "Ben" Delija uses a client-centred, trauma-aware approach that puts the person's experience first. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help people manage intense feelings and unhelpful thinking. Ben offers practical tools and steady support for everyday struggles.

He works with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He also helps people facing addiction, bereavement and the effects of childhood trauma. Relationship and family concerns, parenting strains and intimacy-related issues are part of his practice too.

Background and approach

Ben combines short-term coping strategies with deeper work on attachment and patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions often look at current challenges and the habits that maintain them. Practical exercises and gentle reflection are used side by side.

Before his counselling work he spent many years supporting people with drug and alcohol problems, using harm reduction and a mix of group and one-to-one work. That background informs his practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

Ben speaks English and Albanian and sees clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. He aims to make therapy clear, direct and focused on what the person wants to change. People start by describing what feels hardest right now.

From there he helps set simple goals and steps that fit the person's life and pace.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy here means calmly looking at how past harms affect day-to-day life and building steps to reduce their ongoing impact. It is used when memories or reactions from earlier events still cause distress and get in the way of daily life.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s own priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises that can be done between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss why a method might help and test it out together. Goals and techniques are adjusted as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, day-to-day coaching and when a written record helps follow progress. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and keep contact between sessions when needed.
