How I work
I am an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist with a PhD in Psychology, offering online therapy for individuals and couples across the UK.
​
With over six years of post-qualification experience, my work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and EFT, and informed by a relational, integrative approach to trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties.
.​
Relational Approach
I offer a calm, attentive space where experiences can be explored with care and without judgement. I meet you with warmth, curiosity, and genuine care, and hold the therapeutic relationship as central to my work.
​
Tailored to You
Therapy begins with getting to know you; your story, your relationships, and what matters to you. From there, the focus of therapy is shaped around your needs and goals, allowing the work to develop in a way that is thoughtful and grounded in your unique context.
​
A Collaborative Process
Therapy is shaped through our relationship and ongoing conversation about what feels important and helpful for you. I stay closely engaged with you, working at a pace that feels right, and adjusting how we work together in response to what the process requires.
​Meet Dr Bêne Otto
I’m Dr Bêne, an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist offering online therapy to individuals and couples across the UK. I work with people who are navigating experiences such as grief, anxiety, trauma, stress, or difficulties in relationships, often when things feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of.

Individual Psychotherapy
Life’s challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Individual therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore your emotions, deepen self-awareness, and build resilience.
​
What individual therapy can help with:
✔ Understanding and processing emotions in a judgment-free, compassionate space.
✔ Developing healthier ways of coping with anxiety, stress, and sadness.
✔ Healing from trauma, grief, and difficult life experiences through a tailored, evidence-based approach, including EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychodynamic techniques.
✔ Gaining confidence, clarity, and insight to create meaningful and lasting change in your life.
Couples Therapy
Do you and your partner struggle with communication, trust, or emotional connection? You’re not alone. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples helps break negative cycles, strengthen emotional bonds, and bring back intimacy.
​
Couples therapy can help you:
✔ Improve communication and deepen emotional intimacy.
✔ Heal from past hurts and rebuild trust.
✔ Strengthen your relationship so it feels secure and fulfilling.
Therapy isn’t just for couples in crisis; it’s for any couple wanting a closer, more connected relationship.
