About Open Arms Therapy
Meet Ben
Hi, I'm Ben
I’m the founder of Open Arms Therapy, and I’m passionate about helping people feel more like themselves again.
My journey into psychotherapy and hypnotherapy didn’t come from textbooks alone — it came from real life. Through my own experiences, and seeing those close to me face challenges with their mental health, I developed a deep understanding of how difficult things can feel. More importantly, it gave me a genuine drive to help others navigate those moments and find a way forward.

A little about me
The person behind Open Arms Therapy
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in the corporate world across the UK, in industries including insurance, aviation, financial services, and technology.
While that experience gave me valuable insight into high-pressure environments and the challenges people face day-to-day, I felt a strong pull toward more meaningful, people-focused work.
That’s what led me here.
Today, my work is centred around creating a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly without judgement. I genuinely care about the people I work with, and I’m committed to helping you gain clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of control in your life.
My Approach
I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and tailored to you. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach — we work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood, or simply feel like something isn’t quite right, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
You’re Not Alone
Reaching out can feel like a big step, but it’s often the most important one.
If you’re ready to start, I’m here when you are.
