About Tricia
Tricia Benson is a counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works from a calm, respectful manner and aims to help people feel heard. Her practice is client-centred and grounded in clear ethical standards through the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Tricia offers straightforward, paced conversations so people can talk about what matters most. She listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns that affect mood, stress, sleep and relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and honest, with time to reflect and try out small changes between meetings. Her work has included roles with UK charities and community services such as Age Concern, AXA Health, MindWorks and the Wandsworth Bereavement Counselling Service. That range of settings has shaped a flexible way of working for different life stages and problems.
Areas she supports include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting strains and career worries. Tricia draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas alongside attachment-focused thinking. That combination helps with current coping and with understanding how earlier experiences still influence feelings and behaviour.
Conversations may look at present problems and also gently explore past patterns when that feels helpful. If someone prefers online contact, Tricia offers video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used so the practical details can be arranged and sessions scheduled.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. In online sessions this often means looking at patterns in how someone relates to others and working on ways to feel more supported in relationships and less reactive to stress.Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and adapts pace and focus to what feels most helpful in the moment. This suits people who want a non-directive space to make sense of feelings and choices.
Psychodynamic ideas help people notice repeated patterns that come from earlier life events. Online conversations can gently uncover these patterns so people understand why they react in certain ways and begin to experiment with new responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Tricia works collaboratively to decide what will help most. She will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on how the person responds and what feels useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text-based messaging provides ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or other commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
