About Benjamin

Benjamin Bookless is a counsellor who aims to make starting therapy less daunting. He uses clear, direct language and listens closely to what people bring. He works from a client-centred stance that puts the person’s experience at the heart of the conversation.

Benjamin holds BACP accreditation and has practised since 2016. He offers short-term, solution-focused work for practical issues like day-to-day stress and anxiety. That approach looks at small changes and concrete steps to ease strain quickly.

Background and approach

Benjamin also has training in trauma skills and a growing awareness of how traumatic events can affect both mind and body. His earlier roles include charity work, employee assistance programmes, GP settings, church-based support and college services. Those experiences shaped his flexible style and ability to talk about family, work and faith-related pressures.

He often helps people sort through grief, guilt, forgiveness and relationship difficulties. Sessions aim to help people gain clearer thinking and manageable coping strategies. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the individual.

Benjamin encourages people to set practical goals and to notice small shifts between sessions. People come with many concerns such as anxiety, depression, workplace issues, social anxiety, addiction, and coping with life changes. Benjamin accepts international clients and offers a mix of online formats.

He welcomes enquiries and gently supports people taking the first step into therapy.

How these approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past events affect present reactions and body sensations. Online sessions can use gentle pacing to revisit experiences, build safety in small steps and develop coping strategies for post-traumatic stress symptoms. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience and choices at the centre of sessions. In this approach the counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own understanding and direction. Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose which approach or combination feels most helpful for their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and pace are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow visual contact and a fuller conversational flow, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer typed communication. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
