About me

About me

My name is Ben and I work as a Mental Health Occupational Therapist in the NHS, but due to the growing need for mental health services, I have set up my own private practice. I specialise in combining Occupational Therapy with skills in Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Polyvagal approaches.

Using a combination of Occupational Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, allows you to 'defuse' from limiting beliefs in your identity, giving the the power to choose more empowering roles for yourself. The will lead to better habits and routines, cascading to improve your mental and physical health and give you a more positive perception of your environment, full of hope and possibility... Free your mind and your life will follow!   

About Mirror Mind Therapy

Mirror Mind Therapy asserts that moments of fear and judgment present as a direct reflection of where you still have space to love and accept yourself. Whenever you experience mental suffering, mental freedom is there, waiting on the other side. But, until you can defuse from the unconscious, limiting beliefs that you have bound to your identity, these limiting beliefs will dictate your life and you will call it fate. However, when they are brought into conscious awareness, defusing from them is as simple as looking in the mirror and realising they are just your reflection. Mirror Mind Therapy uses clinically proven therapeutic techniques (Occupational Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, motivational interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to bring your unconscious beliefs into your conscious awareness, defuse them from your identity and dissolve your mental constraints. The only question is, are you ready to free your mind?
