Ben Lashmore-Davies

Ben Lashmore-Davies is a UK-based therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has six years of direct therapy experience and a longer background working in mental health, homelessness and addiction services. Ben offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress or other painful emotions.

He trained at Leeds Beckett University and describes himself as an integrative therapist. That means he draws on different methods to match each person's needs rather than using a single fixed model. Sessions focus on helping people understand their feelings, notice unhelpful patterns, and develop more helpful ways of coping.

Ben has supported people with anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, family problems, grief and relationship issues. He also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, intimacy issues, parenting pressures and ADHD-related difficulties. His experience includes work with drug and alcohol addiction and with those facing homelessness and complex life challenges.

In sessions Ben uses an interactive style that encourages self-exploration and self-compassion. He aims to help people find clearer choices and calmer ways of responding to difficult situations. The practical focus is on small, manageable steps people can use between sessions.

People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Ben works in English and does not take international clients.

Approaches used and how online work can help

Ben describes himself as an integrative therapist who draws on different evidence-based techniques as needed. Integrative therapy mixes methods so the work can be tailored to what a person brings, which can help with anger, anxiety and relationship difficulties by using the most relevant tools for each person. He also emphasises interactive, exploratory work that builds self-compassion and helps people notice unhelpful patterns and make different choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ben will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means sessions can change focus as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and help people keep continuity when schedules change. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote work lets them check in more consistently and practise skills between sessions, which supports steady progress.
