Ben Lashmore-Davies , BACP

Ben Lashmore-Davies is a UK-based therapist who combines practical experience with an integrative, person-centered approach to help people navigate difficult life moments. He trained at Leeds Beckett University and is registered with the BACP - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques, he tailors his work to each person's needs, encouraging self-exploration and cultivating self-compassion as part of the therapeutic process.

Ben has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family difficulties, grief and loss, and relationship challenges. He also supports those dealing with issues such as low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, career uncertainty, and ADHD. His practice includes focused work on attachment and abandonment, codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, fatherhood issues, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and panic-related difficulties.

In sessions he aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. He uses an interactive style that helps clients identify patterns, build coping strategies, and move toward clearer goals. Ben believes that with compassionate support and the right approach each person can find a calmer, more fulfilling way forward, and he is committed to supporting clients as they work toward those outcomes.

Integrative Approaches and Online Therapy

Ben works with an integrative approach that blends therapeutic ideas and techniques to suit each person. This means he draws on multiple evidence-based methods and adapts them to the client’s needs - helping address issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship difficulties, and trauma. He also emphasizes interactive self-exploration and self-compassion work, supporting clients to understand patterns and develop kinder ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is collaborative. Ben works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the plan remains aligned with the client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Clients in the United Kingdom can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit schedules and comfort levels. These options make regular work on goals more accessible and allow clients to continue therapy from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care.
