About Benjamin
Counsellor Benjamin ('Beni') Fleischer is a BACP member with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, depression, trauma and grief. He also supports those facing life changes and issues linked to family, anger and bipolar concerns.
Beni describes a person’s relationship with others as rooted in their relationship with themselves. He pays attention to both what is obvious in a person's life and the less visible influences - such as family, culture, religion and identity. He aims to help people notice patterns that feel stuck and make different choices.
Sessions are conversational and reflective. He listens for recurring feelings and themes and helps people talk through what comes up. Practical focus can include coping strategies for stress, clearer ways to handle conflict, and short-term plans to get through difficult phases.
Beni draws on client-centred ideas, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques. That means he attends to the person in the room, looks at how past experiences shape current feelings, and works with small, practical steps to change things that aren’t working.
He has worked with a wide range of backgrounds, including people he saw while working within the NHS. He has a particular interest in men in mid-life, though he works with others as well. Sessions are offered in English, Hebrew and Yiddish, and international clients can be supported. To begin, people use the site's matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supports them to find their own solutions to problems like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship strain.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and hidden patterns influence present feelings and behaviour. This approach can help with recurring emotional issues, trauma, grief and difficulties that feel hard to shift.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try based on the issues, goals and preferences brought to sessions. This is a collaborative process where gradual changes are tested and reviewed.
If you are considering online counselling, check the session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier. It can reduce travel, allow a quicker check-in during a busy day, or mean quieter surroundings if that suits the person. Ask about language options too, since he offers sessions in English, Hebrew and Yiddish.
