About Benjamin

Benjamin Ng is a psychotherapist with a Master’s degree and ten years of experience. He works with people who feel stuck in relationships, identity, or self-worth, and with those facing anxiety, grief or addiction. Benjamin aims for honest, grounded conversations rather than quick fixes.

He uses an engaged, warm style and will gently challenge things that need naming. He does not push people before they are ready, but he will not simply agree for the sake of comfort. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and finding what helps now.

Benjamin draws on psychodynamic ideas, family systems thinking, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). That combination helps trace where behaviour comes from and then look at practical steps forward. He pays particular attention to relationship difficulties, including difficulties with the self, and intimacy-related issues.

The practice is attentive to differences in ethnicity, sexuality, culture, and gender identity. Benjamin considers how wider social and structural factors interact with a person's struggles and brings that into conversations.

If someone wants a therapist who listens closely and asks direct questions, he offers a straightforward, non-judgemental space. He encourages people to notice what they want to change and to work at a steady, realistic pace. Choosing therapy takes courage, and Benjamin aims to make those early steps easier to take.

How Benjamin’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what really matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to pay attention to thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can reduce reactivity and make day-to-day coping easier. Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated patterns and early relationships to understand why certain problems keep returning and can help shift long-standing habits.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Benjamin will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and together you will decide which methods to focus on. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow gentler transitions back to daily life after a session. It can also offer shorter check-ins when time is tight or sessions that do not require being on camera. Benjamin will help shape the practical side so therapy fits with your routine.
