Benn

Mr Benn Baker-Pollard

Psychotherapist (Registered)

I work with people who are experiencing an emotional or physical issue which is holding them back or who are struggling to cope with life’s challenges and adapting to change. I also deliver coportate mental health training and wellbeing seminars.

About Me

I offer a supportive space if you are feeling held back by emotional or physical challenges. We can explore what is hindering your progress and find practical ways to navigate life's changes. My aim is to help you build resilience and find renewed confidence. This collaborative approach is ideal for those ready to adapt and move forward. We can transform struggles into steps towards a more fulfilling life.

Approach

When setbacks or bodily symptoms interrupt your goals, I use clear, paced sessions that map what feels stuck and try small, achievable shifts. In Sittingbourne or online in English, sessions blend focused dialogue with trance-based relaxation and practical between-session tasks so progress feels steady rather than sudden. You'll notice attention to rhythm—breath, imagery and short experiments—to loosen unhelpful patterns tied to anxiety, trauma or addictive urges. This way of working often helps people ready for practical change and steadier confidence.
