Benjamin Ng , BACP

Benjamin Ng is a psychotherapist with a master’s degree and more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and couples. He works with people who feel that something is out of balance - in their relationships, their sense of self, or the narratives they carry - and who are looking for thoughtful, honest work rather than quick fixes.

His manner is warm, grounded, and engaged, with a readiness to name what needs naming while respecting each person’s pace. He will not push before someone is ready, but he will also avoid simple agreement when deeper exploration is needed. When patterns feel stuck, he collaborates with clients to examine origins and practical ways forward.

Benjamin practices integratively, drawing on psychodynamic therapy to explore unconscious patterns and early influences, family systems or systemic ideas to map relational dynamics, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to anchor change in values and committed action. He is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a clinical perspective shaped by training and long-term practice.

He has particular experience with relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, anxiety, low self-worth, and questions of identity. His practice is attentive to differences of ethnicity, sexuality, culture, and gender identity, and to how wider social and structural factors interact with personal struggles. Choosing a therapist matters, and Benjamin recognises the courage it takes to seek help; he welcomes inquiries from those who want a thoughtful, honest therapeutic partnership.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Benjamin combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and psychodynamic and systemic ideas to tailor online therapy to each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to act on them even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Psychodynamic therapy explores how early experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and relationships - it can be useful for understanding recurring issues like attachment, identity, or relational conflict. Systemic therapy looks at how relationships and family dynamics influence problems and helps people change interaction patterns that maintain distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Benjamin works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the focus over time as things evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy or complicated lives. For many people this means consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, and the chance to continue work during life changes or when in-person options are limited.
