About Ben

Ben Lashmore-Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a calm, direct approach for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain and trauma-related concerns. Ben writes plainly and listens closely to help people make sense of difficult feelings and choices.

Ben has six years' experience working as a therapist and more than a decade in mental health, homelessness and addiction services.

Background and approach

He trained at Leeds Beckett University and brings that varied background into sessions. His experience includes supporting people with family conflict, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues and coping with life changes. He uses an integrative way of working, drawing on different evidence-based techniques to suit each person rather than one fixed method.

Sessions are interactive and encourage self-exploration and self-compassion. Ben aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and emotions can be talked through. In practical terms Ben supports people with anger, panic, addiction to drugs or alcohol, isolation and issues around intimacy and infidelity.

He also helps those managing ADHD, career stress, money worries and questions about life purpose. His work often focuses on attachment and abandonment themes. Ben believes people can find calmer, more fulfilling ways of living with careful support.

He collaborates with clients to set goals and explore what fits best for each person, helping them build coping skills and clearer choices for the future.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Ben lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How practical approaches work online

Ben commonly uses short-term, evidence-based techniques alongside broader integrative counselling. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and panic; this helps when worry and intrusive thoughts feel overwhelming. Another approach works on emotional processing and coping strategies for trauma and loss, helping people sit with difficult memories and build stronger ways to manage distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ben collaborates with each person to decide which techniques to try first based on their goals, symptoms and preferences. He checks progress and adjusts the plan so it fits the person's pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face style of session, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
