About Benjamin
Benjamin Bookless is a counsellor with six years' experience working across charity, employee assistance programmes, GP, church and college settings. He uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person in front of him and their lived experience. Benjamin aims to create a calm environment so people can begin to talk about what matters most to them.
He offers short-term, solution-focused work for practical problems and everyday stress. These sessions concentrate on small, manageable steps to reduce anxiety and clear immediate worries.
Background and approach
For longer-standing difficulties he uses client-centred conversations to build understanding and perspective. Benjamin has also completed a trauma skills qualification and brings that awareness into his practice. He recognises how traumatic events can affect both feelings and the body and adapts his approach accordingly.
This can help when people struggle with post-traumatic stress, grief, or painful memories. Typical concerns he helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, addictions, self-esteem, guilt and shame, career issues and major life changes. He uses down-to-earth language and aims to make sessions easy to follow.
Sessions are offered in English and Benjamin works with international clients. He uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose the format that suits them. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with the right service and schedule.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and practical. It looks at small, concrete steps that reduce stress and anxiety and helps people try new strategies between sessions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how traumatic events affect both mind and body. It involves careful pacing and techniques aimed at reducing the hold of traumatic memories and supporting recovery from post-traumatic stress and related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Benjamin will listen to your needs, goals and preferences and suggest whether client-centred, solution-focused or trauma-aware methods suit you best. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and conversational depth, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, while live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel or family commitments and to choose the format that helps you engage most effectively.
