About Arben
Arben "Ben" Delija works with people using an integrative, person-centred approach. He combines listening with practical steps to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. Ben presents himself plainly and aims to make therapy accessible and straightforward for clients.
He draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. Dialectical behaviour therapy tools are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when feelings run high. Motivational Interviewing is used to support change when people feel stuck or unsure about next steps.
Ben has five years in a counselling role and earlier spent 18 years supporting people with drug and alcohol issues, focusing on harm reduction and both group and one-to-one work. That background informs how he supports people through addiction, relapse prevention and practical coping strategies.
People bring many concerns, including depression, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, intimacy-related issues and codependency. He also supports those working through trauma, family problems, immigration stress and career change. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the person’s goals guiding the work.
Ben holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Sessions are offered in English and Albanian and he sees international clients. Prospective clients are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire to find a suitable time and fit.
How key approaches translate to online therapy
The clinician uses client-centred work to focus sessions on what matters most to the person, offering space to be heard and helping them set achievable goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments, which can be worked on in session and practiced between meetings.Dialectical behaviour therapy supplies straightforward skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, useful when anxiety, anger or cravings feel overwhelming. Together these approaches allow practical tasks alongside reflective conversation, and the therapist will collaborate with the client to choose the best mix for their needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques over time, based on what helps most and what a person prefers. This collaborative way of working helps tailor sessions to personal aims and life demands.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily commitments, provide a quiet space for a focused check-in, or allow a shorter phone-style meeting when video is not convenient. Registered and accredited professionals can use different approaches to make remote therapy practical and effective.
