Hi I'm Ben
I’m a qualified Occupational Therapist (OT), specialising in Acceptance, Commitment Therapy Interventions (ACT). I used to work as a Mental Health Occupational Therapist for the NHS, but due to the growing need for mental health services for young men, I have set up my own private practice. I specialise in combining Occupational Therapy with skills in ACT and Polyvagal approaches.
Unlike most Occupational Therapists who adapt the external environment to help people become more functional, I look at adapting your internal environment to create a sense of inner mental freedom, changing your perspective on your surrounding environment, and allowing you to engage in meaningful activities with ease.
Using a combination of Narrative Diffusion, Emotional Release, and Polyvagal Skills allows you to ‘defuse’ from subconscious constraints, limiting beliefs, and emotional blocks which dictate behaviour and how you act.
Once free, this gives you the power to choose more empowering roles, which leads to better habits and routines, cascading to improve your mental and physical health and give you a more positive perception of your environment, full of hope and possibility.
