If you feel stuck or unseen,

this is where your next chapter begins.

Trauma-Informed and Evidence-Based Counselling and Hypnotherapy in Dorset and Online

When shame, guilt, trauma, or not feeling enough weighs you down, I can help you rediscover your strength and move through life with greater ease and self-trust.

I will sit with you in the places that feel too heavy to face alone, so you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

I’m Ben, a hypno-psychotherapeutic counsellor.

I work with adults from all walks of life, many of whom feel like they’ve tried everything else or are unsure what’s “wrong.”

Together, we’ll create a therapeutic space that’s safe, collaborative, and centred on your pace.

This isn’t quick-fix or surface-level work.

It’s honest, respectful, grounded, and focused on sustainable change.

Note: I’m currently working towards full UKCP accreditation. My practice is closely supervised by an experienced UKCP-accredited psychotherapist, ensuring you receive high-quality, ethically grounded support.

Let’s take that first step together.

Feeling unsatisfied with the way things are going in your life right now?

Maybe you would like some time to unravel your story about where the sticking points are in your life that are holding you back from making sustainable change.

Or perhaps you know what those points are but would like some help in overcoming them because you feel pinned down by current behaviours and ways of thinking.

As an integrative therapist, counsellor and hypnotherapist, I recognise that these repetitive cycles can hinder the transformation we desperately want, holding us back from living our best lives.

Explore in a private and productive space.

Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowering you to navigate through the barriers that have kept you stuck, and guiding you towards the transformation you so deeply desire.

Your best life awaits, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
