About Benjamin

Benjamin ('Beni') Fleischer helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He supports those dealing with grief, anger, trauma and major life changes. He also works with issues like self-esteem, bipolar symptoms and problems linked to family or parenting roles.

Beni uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of the conversation. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past. Solution-focused work is used to set small, practical steps when clients want more immediate change.

Sessions are offered in English, Hebrew and Yiddish. Beni practices in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP. He has six years of experience including work within the NHS, and describes a calm, non-judgemental space for one-to-one work.

He often supports men navigating mid-life challenges but also sees people from many backgrounds and faiths. Beni says talking through hidden parts of life can reveal choice and meaning where people felt stuck.

In conversation he aims to help people notice patterns, put small changes in place and build on strengths. He encourages a pace chosen by the client and offers supervised practice within the ethical framework of the BACP.

How these approaches translate to online work

Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client's lead. Online sessions can be a place to speak about what matters most, build self-awareness and try out different ways of relating to oneself and others.

Psychodynamic-informed work pays attention to recurring patterns and past influences that shape current feelings and relationships. Online conversations can help bring those patterns into view so clients can decide how to respond differently over time.

Solution-focused work aims for small, practical steps and clear goals. It suits people who want brief, goal-orientated conversations that lead to immediate actions between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as the work progresses.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or less screen use are preferable, depending on practical needs.
