Arben "Ben" Delija, BACP, NCPS

Arben "Ben" Delija works from an integrative, person-centred approach that aims to meet people where they are. He combines practical methods with a calm, direct style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. Ben’s BACP membership and NCPS credential are listed as professional details. Ben draws on a mix of cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns. He also uses attachment-focused thinking to look at how early relationships shape current struggles. Sessions often involve setting small goals, learning coping skills and trying new ways of responding in everyday life. His background includes 18 years working with people affected by drug and alcohol problems, using both group work and one-to-one support with a harm reduction emphasis. That experience informs his steady, practical approach to addictions and related concerns such as codependency and family strain. Ben also helps with depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, trauma and relationship difficulties. He supports people dealing with career changes, parenting stress, grief and isolation. He pays attention to how feelings like guilt, shame or anger get in the way of moving forward. Sessions can be conducted in English and Albanian, and he accepts international clients.

How Ben’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, with the counsellor offering empathy and non-judgemental listening to help people find their own solutions. This suits issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns where being heard matters.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and work-related stress.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving tolerance of distress. It is useful when anger, impulsivity or intense mood swings make day-to-day life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to fit each person’s goals and preferences. That means sessions may combine listening, skill teaching and practical goal-setting so the approach fits how someone wants to work.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist during matching to find the best way to make sessions work for your routine.
