Ben Lashmore-Davies , BACP

Ben Lashmore-Davies is a United Kingdom-based therapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). He trained at Leeds Beckett University and brings six years of professional experience supporting people through a range of life challenges.

He offers help for concerns including stress and anxiety, addictions, family conflict, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, parenting, anger, career concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD, along with other issues listed on his profile.

An integrative practitioner, he draws on different evidence-based ideas and methods to meet each person’s individual needs and preferences. His interactive approach encourages self-exploration and the development of self-compassion, and he aims to create an open, non-judgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared.

Ben understands that navigating difficult emotions, unwanted thoughts, or painful relationship experiences can feel overwhelming. He works collaboratively with clients to provide careful support through hard times and to help identify practical steps toward calmer, more fulfilling living.

Integrative approaches and flexible online sessions

Ben uses an integrative approach that blends different evidence-based ideas and methods to suit each person's situation - this means the techniques are chosen to match the client rather than following a single model. Integrative work can be helpful for a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and relationship difficulties.

He also adopts an interactive style that encourages self-exploration and the cultivation of self-compassion. This approach supports people in understanding patterns, processing difficult emotions, and experimenting with new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process - Ben will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adapt the work as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life. These formats make it easier to access therapy from home or on the go and allow clients to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for them.
