Ben Weiner MBACP
- Therapy & Counselling
Why are we here?
My name is Ben Weiner. I am a BACP registered therapist in London.
I work to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, heal from past wounds, and build fulfilling relationships.
​
Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and I approach each client with empathy, respect, and a commitment to understanding your unique sense of self.
I believe that healing happens in the context of a trusting, collaborative relationship.
Whether you’re seeking support for depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply want to better understand yourself, I’m here to help you find the tools to become your own guide.
​
I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques to create a therapy that best meets your needs.
Together, we will explore not only your current situation but also how your past experiences and inner world shape your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationships.
My work is rooted in an approach that addresses the emotional, cognitive, and bodily aspects of your experience.
​
I’m here to support you in navigating life’s complexities, helping you to connect to yourself and others in a meaningful way.
​
Who am I?
With hundreds of hours of client experience both in person and online, I bring all my knowledge and experience to my therapeutic practice.
I have worked in private practice and with a charity focused on the impact of domestic and child abuse on families.
These experiences have shaped my approach, which is to meet you where you are and work collaboratively to discover what will support your growth. I don’t come with preconceived notions of what therapy should look like for you — together, we will explore what feels right.
​
I am an integrative relational therapist.
​
Being integrative means I draw from a variety of approaches to suit your unique needs. I believe therapy should honour all parts of who you are — the practical and rational, the creative and artistic, the intellectual and emotional, as well as the physical and spiritual.
All aspects of yourself are welcome in therapy. I find the greatest benefit comes from exploring parts of yourself and experience that are harder to express in everyday life.
​
As a relational therapist, I focus on how your experiences shape the way you relate to others and to the world. This approach can help uncover the underlying forces that influence your life and reveal both what drives you and what holds you back.
​
Training & Qualifications
​
I trained for five years at two respected UK institutions, starting with a foundation course at the Society of Analytical Psychology (Jungian) and continuing at the Minster Centre, one of Europe’s leading centres for Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling.
​
I hold a Diploma in Counselling and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), ensuring that I adhere to the highest ethical standards in my practice.
​
In addition to my core training, I have pursued further professional development in areas such as family dynamics, race and racism, gender and sexuality, child sexual abuse, complex clinical presentations, the use of medication in therapy, bereavement, eco-anxiety, and time-limited therapy.
​
I have several years of experience working in the corporate world, which informs my understanding of the challenges faced by clients navigating work and personal life. I have also worked as a writer and film-maker and make use of these skills to explore the imaginative parts of your inner experience.
​
Ensuring Quality Therapy
​
While terms like "psychotherapist" and "counsellor" are sometimes used without appropriate qualifications, I am committed to ensuring that my clients receive the highest quality of care. If you are seeking therapy, please ensure that the professional you choose has the necessary qualifications and experience to support your needs.
What's going to happen?
If you’ve never had therapy before, it’s completely normal to feel a little unsure.
The first session is an opportunity for us to see if we’re a good fit for each other. I will ask you what brings you to therapy, and together we’ll explore what’s led you to seek support.
​
I’ll also take the time to explain how I work, and we’ll discuss your goals for therapy. If you decide to continue, I will provide a contract outlining the basics of how we’ll work together.
​
The therapy I offer is most effective as a weekly, open-ended arrangement, but if you prefer a more time-limited approach, we can certainly discuss that option.
​
People who come to my practice often find that I offer the compassion and support needed to meet them exactly where they are.
