About Benjamin

Benjamin Ng is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with BACP registration and ten years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, depression and intimacy-related issues. Ben offers a direct but warm approach that balances challenge with care.

Ben meets people where they are and focuses on what feels stuck. He listens closely, asks practical questions, and helps clients trace patterns that keep causing pain. He will not push someone before they are ready, but he will name difficult things so they can be worked through together.

He practises in an integrative way, blending psychodynamic work with family systems ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This means sessions can look at past patterns, current relationships, and values-based actions people want to take now.

Ben has particular experience supporting people with grief, addictions, low self-worth, identity questions, and relationship difficulties including issues with self. He pays attention to how ethnicity, sexuality, culture and gender identity shape a person’s experience and brings that into the work.

Therapy with Ben aims to create honest, non-judgemental space where difficult feelings are acknowledged and practical next steps are explored. He encourages people to be realistic about change while offering steady, engaged support throughout the process.

How Ben’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live in line with their values while noticing difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and problems where avoidance has become a pattern.

Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and where they come from, drawing links between past relationships and present difficulties. This can be helpful for attachment issues, identity questions and long-standing relationship patterns.

Ben will work collaboratively to find the best fit between approach and need. He will listen to the goals and preferences someone brings and suggest ways of working that suit their situation, adjusting the mix of approaches as therapy progresses.

Please confirm available session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady progress on relationship, grief or addiction issues when meeting in person is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals use different methods to adapt exercises, conversations and practical steps for online work, and Ben will discuss what will work best for each person when arranging sessions.
