Real, lasting change; Not just insight or coping techniques.
You’ve tried to understand yourself.
You’ve tried to cope.
Yet somehow, the same problems keep resurfacing, leaving you stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break.
That’s because most approaches stop at either managing symptoms, or providing insight, rather than resolving what’s driving them.
This is different.
ISTDP is a specialist, evidence-based psychotherapy that works to unlock what’s been keeping you stuck, so change can start to happen.
For many people, there’s real movement from the very first session; a sense of clarity, relief, or momentum they haven’t felt in years.
Because the work is targeted and active, those early shifts can quickly develop into deeper, lasting change, often in a much shorter timeframe than people expect.
Many clients tell me they’ve gained more from their first session here than from months and years of previous therapy.

This approach is for you if…

You’ve reached the point where managing symptoms isn’t enough.
You want to actually resolve what’s driving them and you’re ready to do the focused work it takes to get there.
This is a specialist, active form of therapy that works at depth, helping you move past long-standing blocks in a shorter time frame than standard therapy.
It’s for you if:
-
You’ve tried other approaches and still feel stuck
-
You want to get to the root cause of your difficulties, not just cope with them
-
You’re ready to work in a focused, collaborative way
-
You value making meaningful progress sooner rather than later
Therapy that works with what’s underneath
When you’ve been stuck for a long time, it can feel like nothing will shift.
My job is to help you change that, by working with you to reach the root of the problem and start moving it.
That’s why we begin with a full two-hour appointment, not to assess, but to start the work that matters most.
This extended time builds momentum, allows us to work in depth, and means we can begin creating the kinds of shifts in one meeting that might otherwise take weeks or months to reach.
For many people, this is the point where things start to make sense, and where they begin to feel clearer, lighter, and more able to move forward.

If you’re ready to take the next step, get in touch.
You’re welcome to reach out with any questions. I can help you get a clearer sense of how this approach works and whether it feels like the right fit for you.
There’s no pressure, just an opportunity to ask what you need and feel more confident about moving forward and see if we can work together to help you make the changes you're after.
What Clients Say About This Work
Ben helped me work through a variety of issues. He was compassionate, understanding and professional throughout our sessions.
Thanks to the work we did, I’ve become more at peace with myself and feel like my whole life has changed.
I couldn’t recommend him more.
Ben recognised topics that were emotionally loaded for me and helped me to work through them very sensitively, but also efficiently.
He made me feel very comfortable, and we got through a lot in a short space of time. He is clearly very intelligent, experienced, well read, and passionate about his work.
We touched on topics such as dealing with emotions, anger, anxiety, communication in my relationships, and unhealthy coping mechanisms after a difficult childhood and addiction.
I felt safe, supported and respected. Ben was able to pick out the important parts of my brain dumps and offer constructive points of view in a sensitive way.
Worth every penny.
I’d had a few different types of therapy before, and they helped a bit, but I always felt like I was going round in circles.
With Ben, it felt like we were actually getting to the root of things, not just talking about the same stuff over and over.
It really made a difference.
I feel more like myself now, and things don’t feel as stuck anymore.
Also a therapist?
I offer clinical supervision for therapists from a range of backgrounds and modalities.
Whether you’re newly qualified or more experienced, I help you deepen your emotional clarity, work more confidently with complex client dynamics, and feel more grounded in your clinical decisions.
