About Arben
He draws on five years of counselling practice and longer experience supporting people with substance use concerns. That background includes one-to-one work and group sessions aimed at reducing harm and building coping skills. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds the NCPS credential.
Ben helps people facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and relationship or intimacy worries. He is familiar with parenting pressures and career-related strain, and he addresses issues such as sleep, eating and anger in practical ways.
He uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach emotional regulation skills. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and develop new responses. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change patterns like drug or alcohol use.
Sessions are delivered in English and Albanian and accept clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their priorities at the heart of the work, with the counsellor listening carefully and reflecting back what matters most. It helps people who need a steady, accepting space to make sense of changes in midlife and other life stages. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.Finding the right approach is often a joint decision. The counsellor will talk through options, try techniques and adjust the plan as needs and goals become clearer. This collaborative process aims to match methods to what the person finds most helpful rather than imposing a single model.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when travel is difficult. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio if they do not want to use video, while others value the visual connection of a video call. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered here, so confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt pacing and homework to suit everyday life and schedules.
