Personal Profile
Meet Ben Theakston
Hello, I’m Ben. My journey into psychotherapy has been shaped by a diverse life background, from serving in the Army and charity management to my love for outdoor pursuits. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on resilience, trauma, and the human capacity for change.
I am a qualified Integrative Transactional Analysis Psychotherapetic Counsellor. My approach is warm, clear, and reassuring, designed specifically to help adults navigate the complexities of their inner worlds and relationships. My training allows me to blend different therapeutic techniques into a cohesive plan that respects your individual needs and history.
With significant experience working alongside trauma and mental health charities, I have supported many individuals through their most challenging life transitions. Whether you are dealing with past trauma or current emotional distress, I offer a secure and confidential space to work through it together.
When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll usually find me exploring the outdoors, enjoying mountaineering, or spending time with family and friends.
