Hello, I’m Bêne (pronounced “Beanie”). I’m an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist with a PhD in Psychology, offering online therapy to individuals and couples across the UK.

​

I’m drawn to this work because being human can be hard. Life brings ups and downs, loss and change, uncertainty, pressure, and moments that can feel overwhelming, often alongside responsibilities that don’t slow down when we need them to. Many people reach a point where what they’re carrying feels heavy or confusing, and they’re unsure how to cope or make sense of it on their own.

​

At times like these, it can help to have space to slow things down, to unpack what’s been happening, to reflect, and to be met by someone who understands the complexity of human experience. People come to therapy for many different reasons, often looking for support, perspective, or a way through experiences that feel difficult to hold alone.

I care about understanding people in the fullness of their lives: their inner worlds, their relationships, their histories, and the contexts they have been raised in and live within. I bring psychological depth to my work, while also valuing warmth, care, and genuine human connection. I’m attentive to nuance and complexity, and I try to work in a way that allows space for all of this to be held thoughtfully and without judgement.

To me, being a psychologist is a privilege. Being trusted with people’s experiences, particularly in moments of vulnerability, is something I hold with respect and humility. I aim to work in a way that feels ethical, grounded, and human, where people feel welcomed, accepted, and understood.
