About Benjamin
Benjamin Ng is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. He holds a master's degree and has worked in counselling and psychotherapy for 10 years. People come to him for help with relationship problems, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-worth and questions about identity, including LGBT concerns.
Ben keeps sessions warm and grounded. He listens closely and asks direct questions when needed. He will not push someone before they are ready, but he will gently challenge patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
His approach draws on psychodynamic therapy, family systems ideas, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - often called ACT. That mix helps people trace where patterns come from and find small changes that make life feel better now. Ben pays attention to how ethnicity, culture, sexuality and gender shape a person’s difficulties.
He works with issues that come from family history, caregiving strain, and complex relationships. He also supports people coping with major life changes such as separation, bereavement, illness and career shifts. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice repeating themes, try new ways of relating, and build clearer values and boundaries.
He offers a direct, engaged style without pressure to perform. If someone wants a thoughtful, practical space to talk, Ben aims to provide that.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and struggles with motivation. Imago Relationship Therapy looks at how past relational patterns affect current partnerships and helps partners communicate differently to reduce reactivity and increase connection. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and help people stay present during difficult moments.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they will choose methods that fit the issue and the person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
If you want to use online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join from wherever they are on the day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT, Imago work and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so the practical parts of therapy continue to be useful.
