About Benjamin
Benjamin Isaacs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He brings 18 years of experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports those dealing with loss, self-esteem struggles, parenting pressures and LGBT issues.
Benjamin draws on narrative ideas and attachment-based thinking to help people tell their story differently. He uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person's perspective central.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be calm, thoughtful and rooted in everyday language. His background includes long experience in care and support roles, where he worked alongside vulnerable adults with varied needs. That practical work has influenced how he thinks about boundaries, safety and the day-to-day realities people face.
Benjamin is interested in archetypal and Jungian ideas and brings imagination into sessions when it fits the person’s needs. Mindfulness and simple body awareness practices are used to help people notice and manage thoughts and feelings in the moment. He invites exploration of dreams, patterns of attachment and the stories people tell about themselves.
The aim is to help people gain new perspectives, feel steadier and make clearer choices about their lives. Benjamin offers empathy, steadiness and an invitation to try different ways of understanding personal struggles.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Benjamin uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at patterns and meanings in life events and helps people find alternative ways to describe their difficulties. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This can help when trust, closeness or separation issues keep repeating in adult life. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Benjamin will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working that feels helpful. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs, and to continue progress even when life is busy.Common questions about this listing
