Hi

Hi, I’m Benise (they/them), a queer & neurospicy counsellor & psychotherapist.

This is a space for you to be you.

My aim

My aim is to offer a safe holding space for you to explore who you are. I’m not here to tell you what your “issues” are but to offer ways for you to bring in curiosity towards self. Expectation & pressures of life can often feel overwhelming and come into conflict with us being able, or even knowing how to see and connect with ourself. I like to gently interrogate how existing in this world we live in can & does impacts us.

What you expect

We can often feel disconnected from ourselves and others, misunderstood, and that there is no place for us or our voice. I welcome you in any shape or form that you are in a given moment. I invite you into the sessions, to take up space in ways that feels right for you. That might be through movement, drawing, noise or even silence. I work by guiding and offering ways to build one’s own relationship & connection to self. Thus fostering a deeper understanding of self.

You're allowed to feel however you feel – because that's how you feel.

My Practice

In-person sessions take place in my therapy studio in Stoke Newington, London. Walking sessions from nearby Abney Park are also available. I offer online or phone sessions as well.

I have experience with:

  • Gender, sexuality, & relationship diversity (GSRD)
  • Neurodivergence
  • Future & global anxiety
  • Anxiety
  • Shame
  • Depression
  • Loneliness
  • Low self esteem
  • Sexual abuse
  • Addictions
  • Diversity & difference
  • Anger
  • Emotion numbness
  • Trauma
  • Relationship difficulties

I offer a free, 30-minute consultation over phone or video call to see how it might be to work together.

£70 per session is my standard rate. I do, however, offer limited number concession slots for trans+, disabled & global majority.

You can only be you.

What next?

You can can contact me by email or phone, we will then organise a free 30-minute meeting/assessment via phone or video call. This is where you can ask me any question regarding counselling and see how you feel before proceeding. If I feel like I am able to help you and you feel comfortable we will arrange a time for your sessions.

In your first session we will talk through a therapy agreement and a "get to know you" questionnaire to understand our intentions for therapy together.

You are the expert on yourself, you are the only one that knows what it's like to be you.
