Meet Ben

Hi, I'm Ben — a qualified, BACP-registered counsellor and the person behind Willow Vale. I set up this practice because I believe everyone deserves a genuinely warm, non-judgmental space to explore what's going on for them.

I work with adults in a wide range of issues - anxiety, low mood, life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma management, and more. My approach is primarily person-centred, meaning I follow your lead and work at a pace that feels right for you.

There's no single solution or "one-size-fits-all" approach. But what I offer is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can bring your story and explore the changes that matter most to you. Together, we can build a plan that moves you toward healing and hope, at your pace, in your own direction.

It's not just about a friendly conversation. We'll work together to identify what's working for you, what's holding you back, and how we can break through those barriers. Every journey is unique, and it's important that we take the time to find what resonates with you.

I understand that finding a starting point can be difficult. I've been there myself—questioning, "What do I need to change my life for the better?" After trying many different paths, I realised that my passion lies in helping people. Now, I'm dedicated to supporting you on your journey.

If you're ready to begin, I'm here to listen, guide, and support you. Let's work together to find your path forward.
