Mr Ben Selby

Psychotherapist (Registered)

“I'm an accredited and registered counsellor and psychotherapist - I assist individuals and couples with their mental wellbeing.”

About Me

I provide a confidential and understanding space for individuals and couples. Here, we can gently explore challenges affecting your mental wellbeing, working together to make sense of your experiences. My aim is to help you navigate difficulties and foster inner resilience. This collaborative environment, where you feel truly heard, suits clients seeking a calm, focused approach to personal growth and lasting change.

Approach

Assisting people through change, I bring a steady, practical rhythm to sessions that balances gentle curiosity with clear focus. Based in Plymouth, I work in English with adults and couples, meeting face-to-face or online in a calm, predictable setting. We explore feelings around anxiety, anger, relationship strain, loss or burnout at a pace you set, using reflective conversation and practical steps to make sense of patterns between sessions. Those who prefer thoughtful, collaborative work often find this helps them regain clarity and steadier day-to-day coping.
