Benjamin ('Beni') Fleischer, BACP

Benjamin ('Beni') Fleischer helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those facing relationship problems, grief, anger, trauma and the strain of big life changes. Beni is particularly interested in issues such as abandonment, codependency, commitment worries, and fatherhood concerns. He works from the view that how we relate to ourselves shapes how we relate to the world.

Beni combines a conversational, reflective style with practical work to help people name what is happening beneath the surface. He encourages clients to notice their patterns and to try small experiments that can change everyday life. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most right now.

His approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These ways of working help him both listen for deep personal themes and spot small steps that bring relief. He aims to balance longer-term understanding with short-term goals.

Beni trained in integrative humanistic counselling and brings elements of spiritual self-awareness into his work where relevant. He has six years' experience and has worked for the NHS, seeing people from varied backgrounds.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English, Hebrew and Yiddish. International clients are accepted, and practical details about sessions are confirmed during booking.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and start to trust their own decisions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from the past that affect present feelings and relationships, which can help with long-standing worries and recurring problems. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, practical steps and immediate goals that bring improvement quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will choose which ways of working to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to have brief check-ins or to have conversations without needing to be on camera for the whole time. Confirm the exact session options available with the therapist when booking, since format details are arranged at the start of the process.
