Hi I'm Ben and I've been supporting people of all ages for over 20 years. I offer a safe space to explore issues, solve problems, learn new skills and gain insights. I work with a very wide range of issues, including but not limited to - depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, grief and loss, neurodivergence, youth and family, sexuality and sexual identity, relationships, financial stress, workplace behaviour and issues, interpersonal conflicts and so much more. As well as counselling adults, I have a depth of experience working with children, youth and younger adults, and parents struggling with parenting issues.
I am trained in a range of modalities including EMDR, ACT, Solution Focused Therapy and DBT, as well as a warm conversational, 'wandering and wondering' client focused style. I work as a counsellor at a Wellington University and this is my private practice in Kapiti, offered in person or online.
You will find my approach to be warm, realistic, accepting and constructive. I look forward to supporting you or your loved one - feel free to get in touch for a no obligation initial chat. Mā te wā, Ben

Initially, it's all about connection and understanding before going any deeper. This is time and space to express and define the issue, and when ready, move towards problem solving and skills building if that's relevant. For some it's simply using the space to feel feelings but with support, then move forward purposefully and organically towards a more peaceful relationship with those feelings.
