About Tricia
Tricia Benson is a counsellor with eight years' experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk through what matters to them. Her practice emphasises listening and building trust.
Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on the issues they bring, whether that's depression, relationship worries, or life changes.
Background and approach
Tricia aims to make the first steps into therapy feel straightforward and manageable. Tricia uses person-centred ways of working alongside psychodynamic ideas. That means conversations focus on what clients want now, while gently noticing how past experiences might still shape feelings and choices.
Attachment themes are often included when they relate to current concerns. She has worked in independent practice and alongside UK charities and services, supporting people with a wide range of challenges. That background has given practical experience of common life stresses and end-of-life and bereavement counselling contexts.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through a variety of online formats. Information about cost is subscription-based and varies by location and availability. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's timetable.

How Tricia's approaches translate to online therapy
Tricia combines client-centred work with psychodynamic and attachment-informed ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters to the client, which helps when discussing current stresses or parenting concerns.Psychodynamic elements look at patterns that repeat over time and how earlier relationships may influence present feelings and choices. Attachment-informed thinking explores how connection and trust affect behaviour and emotional responses, which is often useful for relationship and caregiving issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tricia will work collaboratively to identify what best meets a client's needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt methods as the work develops.
Online therapy with Tricia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or need flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and everyday life.
