About Tricia

Tricia Benson is a counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Tricia focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk and be heard without judgement.

Her style is gentle and person-centred. She listens first and follows each person's pace. Sessions are built around what matters most to the individual, whether that is stress, grief, or difficulties with relationships and intimacy.

Background and approach

Tricia draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working to help people explore current struggles and earlier life experiences that still affect them. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. These approaches are used to understand difficulties like anxiety, panic, trauma and low self-esteem.

Over the years she has worked alongside UK charities and services such as Age Concern, AXA Health, MindWorks and the Wandsworth Bereavement Counselling Service. That experience informs her practical, down-to-earth approach when supporting people through loss, caregiving strain, life changes and end-of-life concerns. Tricia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Sessions are organised via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

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

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Tricia uses client-centred work to place the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That means she listens closely, reflects back what she hears and follows the client's pace so they can lead the topics that matter most. This approach helps with feelings of anxiety, low self-worth and relational strain.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and patterns influence present behaviour and emotions. That can be useful when people notice repeating relationship difficulties, unresolved grief or long-standing mood issues. Attachment-based thinking is used alongside these approaches to explore how early bonds shape responses to stress and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tricia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and will adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process aimed at fitting the approach to each person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be a shorter check-in or a way to access support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
