About Ben
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience, Ben Thornhill helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports clients dealing with ADHD, addiction and grief. Ben uses Existential Therapy as his main approach and invites people to talk through what matters to them and how they want to live.
Ben offers straightforward, conversational sessions. He asks questions about values, choices and everyday pressures. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and to spot small, workable changes. Sessions are practical as well as reflective.
His work often covers attachment issues and family of origin themes. He also helps people with intimacy-related concerns, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and struggles with loneliness. For some, the focus is on life purpose and decisions that matter now.
Ben has supported people with autism and Asperger syndrome and with drug or alcohol problems. He works with men on issues commonly linked to identity and role. He pays attention to how past experiences shape current behaviour and relationships.
Clients can expect a collaborative style that mixes exploration with practical steps. Ben keeps language simple and aims for clarity about goals and next steps. To begin, visitors are invited to use the online matching process and book a first session.

Existential approaches and remote counselling
Ben primarily works from an Existential Therapy perspective. That approach focuses on questions about meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when people feel stuck, empty or uncertain about major life directions. He also uses conversation about values and relationships to surface practical next steps. This helps people translate insight into small changes they can try between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide together what to focus on. That collaborative process helps match methods to the issues you bring. Practical benefits of having sessions remotely include fitting appointments around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If you need sessions that are shorter or quieter, you can discuss adjustments to pace and format. The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online meetings make it easier to maintain regular contact while balancing everyday life.Sheet 3
