Benjamin Neville John Buck
Counsellor or psychotherapist (ACA, PACFA or CPCA). Supporting older adults through trauma, grief, and neurodivergent diagnoses using a compassionate, integrative approach without the BS
About
I am a counsellor who works primarily with older adults, supporting people through periods of change, uncertainty, and personal transition. My experience includes working with individuals navigating trauma, grief and loss, and the challenges and opportunities that can accompany a later-life neurodivergent diagnosis.
My approach is collaborative, person-centred, and grounded in helping clients rediscover their sense of agency and direction. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy, I tailor our work to each person's circumstances, strengths, and goals.
I believe meaningful change is possible at any stage of life. My aim is to provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop practical strategies, and move forward with greater confidence, autonomy, and self-understanding.
What a first session looks like
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, explore what has brought you to counselling, and discuss what you hope to achieve. We'll talk about your experiences and challenges at a pace that feels comfortable, while I explain my approach, confidentiality, and what to expect. There's no pressure to share everything at once. The aim is to establish a supportive, collaborative relationship and begin identifying a meaningful way forward together.
