About Ben

Ben Thornhill is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports those struggling with low self-esteem, addiction, ADHD, grief and trauma. Ben uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people feel more grounded and make changes that matter.

He works from an Existential Therapy perspective, which focuses on meaning, choice and personal values. Sessions are collaborative - Ben asks questions, listens closely and helps people clarify what matters to them.

Background and approach

That can help with decision-making, confidence and coping with life changes. Ben has six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. He aims to offer respectful and inclusive support, and to adapt his approach to each person’s needs.

Conversations cover both feelings and day-to-day behaviours so that insight leads to action. Appointments are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their routines. Sessions form part of a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Ben is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. He works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English only. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to his schedule.

Ways of working Ben names

Existential Therapy

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

How Existential ideas translate to online therapy

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and personal choice. It helps when people feel stuck, empty or unsure about their direction in life by focusing on values and the choices available to them.

In session Ben uses that approach to help people clarify what matters and to make decisions that match their aims. Conversations explore feelings, identity and everyday habits so people can find ways to act differently and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ben treats the choice of method as collaborative - he will listen to your goals and preferences, explain how Existential Therapy might help, and adapt the way he works as you go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress and personal meaning.
