Tricia Benson, BACP

Deciding to start therapy can feel overwhelming, and Tricia Benson recognises how significant that first step is. She aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and be listened to with respect and empathy. Her approach centres on meeting clients at their own pace and following the needs of each individual as they work through difficult feelings and life changes.

Tricia is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a professional body that sets ethical and practice standards for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Alongside her private practice, she contributes to the work of two UK charities and has supported people through organisations such as Age Concern, AXA Health, MindWorks, and the Wandsworth Bereavement Counselling Service (NHS). These roles have given her experience with a wide range of life challenges and client backgrounds.

She is trained in person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, combining a present-focused, client-led stance with a gentle exploration of past experiences that may still influence current feelings and behaviours. Tricia works with issues including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, parenting and many other concerns. She welcomes contact from anyone considering therapy and is available to talk through what starting therapy might look like.
