Hi, I’m Ben, a psychodynamic counsellor. I offer a reflective space to explore what lies beneath the surface—patterns, emotions and past experiences that may be shaping how you feel and relate today. This isn’t about quick fixes, but building a deeper understanding of yourself and the roots of your struggles. My approach suits people open to longer-term work, including those wanting a space where conversations about sexuality, intimacy, shame or sex work can unfold without judgement.
I have a background in nutrition counselling (BSc), helpful if you’re struggling with food or body-related concerns. I also support people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulties with anger or self-expression. My lived experience within the sex industry informs a sensitive, stigma-free approach.
Together we can explore not only what feels painful or confusing, but also what’s protective, hidden or hard to face. If you feel ready to begin, I offer a free 15-minute call where you can ask questions, hear how I work, and get a sense of whether I might be the right counsellor for you.
Call or Ben Morley now for a free 15 minute consultation - 01263 808961

Psychodynamic counselling is based on the idea that our early life has a lasting influence on who we become. While we're each born with certain traits and tendencies, these are shaped by how we're cared for, what we're taught, what we're discouraged from expressing, and the emotional environment of our family and surroundings.
