About Benjamin
Benjamin ('Beni') Fleischer is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, including grief, trauma and issues linked to family and codependency.
Beni describes a focus on the relationship people have with themselves. He looks at the parts of life that are obvious and the parts that are hidden beneath the surface - background, personality, family, community and belief. He talks through how those hidden influences shape behaviour and choices.
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings and patterns clearer. He uses talking, reflection and steady inquiry to help people notice how they react and why. The work is practical and paced to the individual rather than rushed.
His approach draws on client-centred ideas, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques. That means time is spent listening to personal experience, exploring recurring patterns from the past, and identifying small changes that make daily life easier.
Beni has worked with people across varied backgrounds, including experience within the NHS. He notes a particular interest in supporting men in mid-life, while also working with a broader range of adults. He offers sessions in English, Hebrew and Yiddish.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. The therapist follows the client's account, reflects what they hear and supports people to find their own understanding of problems. This approach helps with issues of self-esteem, feeling lost and rebuilding a sense of direction.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns that come from earlier life and relationships. It helps make sense of why certain reactions keep happening and how past experiences shape present choices, which can be useful for anger, abandonment fears and long-standing relationship patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what changes would look like day to day. It is helpful when someone wants quick, achievable ways to reduce stress or manage anxiety without getting overwhelmed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, what feels most helpful and try different ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work develops.
Confirm the session options before you book, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions a practical way to continue regular work while balancing day-to-day commitments.
