About Benjamin
Benjamin Ng is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. He supports people concerned about stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-worth and relationship struggles. He also helps with parenting concerns and the strain that arises around family roles and responsibilities.
Ben keeps therapy warm and down-to-earth. He listens closely and asks direct questions when something needs naming. He will not push someone before they are ready, but he will gently challenge patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
His approach draws on psychodynamic ideas, family systems thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In practice this means looking at recurring patterns, tracing where they came from, and testing what changes help in everyday life now. Sessions often explore identity, intimacy, and how social pressures shape feelings and choices.
Ben pays attention to ethnicity, sexuality, culture and gender identity and how wider structures affect a person’s struggles. He aims to create a space where difficult feelings can be noticed without judgement. People come to him with issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, addiction, grief after illness, codependency and problems around commitment or control.
Ben aims to help people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making changes when old habits get in the way.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and where they come from, helping people understand why they react the way they do in relationships and stressful moments. This can be helpful for attachment concerns, grief and long-standing self-esteem issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape how sessions proceed and what techniques are tried.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone meetings, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules permit. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections between sessions or people who prefer written communication. These options help therapy fit into busy lives while keeping the focus on what each person wants to change and achieve.
