About Benjamin
Benjamin Ng is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with a decade of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and relationship difficulties, and supports those dealing with trauma and identity questions.
His approach is warm and engaged, and he aims to be direct when something needs naming while moving at a pace that feels manageable for each person. Benjamin blends several ways of working to suit the person in front of him.
Background and approach
He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to trace patterns back to their origins. He also uses family systems thinking to map how relationships shape behaviour.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Benjamin listens closely, asks thoughtful questions and spots repeating patterns. When something feels stuck, he will gently challenge assumptions and try out different strategies to see what helps now rather than just focusing on the past.
He pays attention to identity, culture and sexuality, and how wider social pressures affect wellbeing. He aims to make therapy a place where difficult feelings and stories can be held without judgement, and where people can try out new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Benjamin welcomes people who have tried therapy before as well as those coming for the first time. He guides each person through a process of finding clarity, working on immediate concerns and building longer-term coping and understanding.

How Benjamin’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions typically combine discussion of difficulties with practical exercises aimed at changing how you relate to difficult thoughts and feelings.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape present behaviour. In online psychodynamic work, conversations help make those patterns clearer so you can make different choices in relationships and daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will discuss options with you and together you will decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as you learn more about what helps.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical options. Video calls let you talk face to face, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging allow for shorter, real-time contact without video. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and keep continuity when life is busy or travel is difficult.
