Benjamin serves as the Director and lead counsellor at Watkins Therapy Group (WTG), a provider offering counselling services across Australia through telehealth and limited in-person sessions nationally. Based in Frankston, VIC, Benjamin conducts sessions both in-person and via telehealth, with convenient online booking available through the WTG website. Please note, our counselling services are self-funded as we do not participate in the Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) or offer Medicare rebates in Australia.
Struggling with self-doubt in personal, relationship, or parenting roles? Experiencing major life changes? You're not alone. As a father of two, I understand time constraints and offer flexible sessions, in-person or via telehealth, outside typical office hours.
If Benjamin's approach isn't quite right for you, we understand finding the perfect therapist is crucial. Our team at WTG is here to help. We can connect you with another therapist who may better meet your needs. Your well-being is our priority.
