Welcome to Integrated Counselling and Somatic Therapy. If I invited you to take a moment right now and gently pause, may I ask: what is most important to you? Knowing the answer is sometimes easy, sometimes elusive. It usually lights the way forward. I specialize in working with unresolved trauma, traumatic shame, anxiety, relationship or career issues, or just feeling unfulfilled. Growth and healing are possible, and a little can go a long way. If you'd like to learn more, please feel free to explore my website: benbasscounselling.
I combine a trauma-informed mixture of cognitive (talk) and somatic (body-centred) therapies that support you to safely heal your past, your nervous system and obtain clarity regarding your next step. You'll learn essential skills that develop your inner and outer awareness, increase your resilience and guide you as we discover and approach your solutions.
If you are interested in healing relational, developmental or shock trauma, or simply getting through a place in your life where you feel stuck, I can help. Individual and couple sessions both 65 minutes. Life can be challenging, even at the best of times. Healing, change and growth are possible...

Ben Bass is an extraordinary therapist, who's stillness creates space for the exploration of emotions, relational patterns, and new possibilities. While working with him I was able to unpack and gain clarity about things I've struggled with my whole life.
