About Me – Teenage Counsellor and Self Esteem Coach in Berkhamsted
Hello, my name is Ben and I have been a teacher for the past 23 years. During this time I have been a Housemaster/Head of Year and have looked after the well-being of pupils in School. In 2016 I went on a course led by an Educational Psychologist. I was blown away with the information given and from this moment started my counselling qualification and qualified in 2019.
During my training and for a year afterwards I volunteered as a counsellor at Bucks Mind completing my 100 hours of training before setting up my private practice.
I am trained in the person-centered method of counselling which allows teenagers to bring whatever they like to the table and I can support the teenagers as the explore what has brought them to me. I also have experience with CBT, solution focused, and recently qualified in the Graydin Coaching method. Sometimes just being a teenage life coach or mentor is what is required. One method of therapy does not suit all.
Every year I do a number of course and these can be found on my latest CPD.
Based in Berkhamsted
I am currently working online and offering a walk and talk service and have easy access from Berkhamsted, Tring, Hemel Hempstead, Bovingdon, Leighton Buzzard, Aylesbury, Aston Clinton, Dunstable, Wendover, Weston Turville, and surrounding villages. I can come to your house too!
The Walk and Talk Service
Exercise and wellbeing are closely linked. We can combine the two in the lovely Chiltern Hills which are on my doorstep. It has been proven that men in particular find it easier to talk to somebody when alongside them and not facing them. Our walks can start from my house or I can meet you locally and the 50-minute journey can begin.
