About Benjamin
Benjamin ('Beni') Fleischer is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience. He supports adults with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self‑esteem, depression, grief, anger and family concerns. He also works with people facing trauma, bipolar mood issues and life changes such as divorce or separation.
Beni describes his work around how people relate to themselves. He talks about the visible parts of life and the hidden parts beneath the surface. These hidden areas include background, family, religion, gender and sexuality and can shape how someone responds to stress and relationships.
In sessions he encourages people to recognise patterns that feel automatic. He helps clients notice how past experiences influence present choices. Conversations are direct but paced to the client's comfort so they can face difficult feelings without being overwhelmed.
He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns, client‑centred ways of following what matters most to the person, and solution‑focused work to set short practical goals. This mix aims to address both immediate problems and longer standing themes in a person's life.
Beni has worked with a wide range of people, including in NHS settings, and brings personal experience of navigating a mid‑life transition. He offers sessions in English, Hebrew and Yiddish and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approach to online therapy and methods
Client‑centred therapy focuses on the client's own experience. The counsellor listens closely and follows what the person says matters most, which helps with low self‑esteem, relationship worries and life changes.Psychodynamic therapy looks for repeating patterns that come from past experiences. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways to stress or conflict and can be useful for trauma, grief and long standing relationship issues.
Solution‑focused therapy aims for small, practical steps. It is goal oriented and suits people who want quick ways to manage anxiety, cope with specific problems or make steady changes.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine methods as those needs become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Ask about how sessions are delivered and any practical options available. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks at work or evenings more readily.
