Who Am I?
Hi, I’m Ben
I’m a qualified Occupational Therapist (OT), specialising in Acceptance, Commitment Therapy Interventions (ACT). I used to work as a Mental Health Occupational Therapist in for 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 ACT and Polyvagal approaches.
Using a combination of OT and ACT, allows you to ‘defuse’ from limiting beliefs and emotional blocks in your identity, giving the the power to choose more empowering roles for yourself.
This 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.
I have a background as a hypnotherapist and councillor which I practiced part time after receiving my BSc in Psychology. After receiving my MSc in Occupational Therapy, I dropped hypnotherapy and focused on mindfulness, and psychotherapy-based approaches which my clients could utilise and integrate into their day to day routine.
Throughout my NHS career I have studied a variety of psychotherapy based skills to compliment my work as an OT, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Polyvagal Theory and Acceptance Commitment Therapy approaches. I have now fully specialised in ACT based interventions due to how ACT mirrors the foundations of Occupational Therapy, and enhances it by providing evidence based interventions to defuse from limitations in our occupational identity, and giving us the freedom to take actions that allow us to live a more enriched and meaningful life!
Acceptance
Choice
compassion
Let me tell you why you’re here…
You’re here because you know something, what you know you can’t explain, but you feel it.
You have felt it for as long as you can remember… that there is something wrong with your world (not the world).
You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like smoke and mirrors imprisoning your mind.
Unfortunately, no-one can be told what this prison is.
You have to see it for yourself.
Free your mind… and your life will follow!
My Practice
What We Do?
Mirror Mind Therapy asserts that fear and judgment present 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 roles that you have bound to your identity, these limiting roles 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, you’re not the reflection.
Mirror Mind Therapy uses clinically proven therapeutic techniques (Occupational Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Polyvagal 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?
Work With ME
My Therapy and Services
1 Hour 1-1 Talking Therapy (£90pp)
These 10-12 sessions are designed to help you build confidence and self-esteem. Using a fusion of effective OT and ACT interventions to help you start living a meaningful life in accordance with your values. These come with a completely free 1 hour Initial consultation.
1 Hour Group Mindfulness and Embodiment Therapy (£15pp)
One of the biggest hallmarks of developing self-esteem and confidence is learning to relax in uncomfortable situations while owning who you are. My Mindfulness meditations incorporate CBT and ACT techniques that gradually teach you the skill to relax your body and free you mind, even when feeling stressed.
I also look at developing embodiment, giving us greater awareness of the physical and emotional signals inside our body, greatly reducing emotional dysregulation and giving us the power to start taking ownership of our actions and accepting ourselves.
Interactive group workshop for stress management (£200)
To truly live our lives to the fullest stress is unavoidable, particularly in productive environments such as schools, universities and the workplace. Through teaching the principles or ‘role diffusion’ we look at changing your relationship to stress, so you can act with choice and compassion in the face of stressful circumstances.
The approach at Mirror Mind Therapy also looks at changing your relationship with your work environment, allowing staff to engage in more effective habits, reducing burnout and work more collaboratively with colleagues, creating a more productive and meaningful work environment.
Going Deeper
The Stories We Tell Ourselves
“We are all trapped inside our own heads, and our ideas and beliefs about the world are limited by that perspective… which means we tell ourselves stories about how we relate to the world around us… and we all get it wrong.” (Darren Brown)
Compensating is a Cycle
We build our own prisons. Bars forged of roles, compensations and control. Walls of self-doubt and subconscious limitations. We inhabit these prisons, these roles, and call them “us”.
Breaking Free
If you’re able to see that this prison is just a story you assigned to yourself and not a truth, you can defuse your personal causation from the role you attached to it.
The Glorious Evolution
When we defuse a confining role from our personal causation, this creates a split in our constrained identity. This split creates space (self-compassion), freedom (self-love) and energy (self-esteem)… a lot of energy. With this energy we are free to choose more positive roles and stories about ourselves.
The Practice
Who This Therapy Is For
Mirror Mind Therapy is for individuals who feel held back by self-doubt, struggle to find their voice, or face challenges in building meaningful relationships—whether social, professional, or intimate. We work with people who are ready to take steps toward to understanding and embrace their true worth, while being willing to let go of the limiting beliefs and self sabotaging behaviours that hold them back from being their most authentic and confident self.
Through a compassionate and tailored approach, we help clients uncover and let go of limiting beliefs, build healthy self-confidence, and develop communication and emotional skills that strengthen their relationships. Whether it’s navigating workplace dynamics, deepening intimacy in personal connections, or fostering a vibrant social life, The Mirror Mind Method guides individuals in creating the relationships and self-esteem they deserve. Together, we unlock tools and strategies to help you thrive in every aspect of life and reveal the most confident version of you.
Privacy and Security assured
Patient Confidentiality
Keeping in line with the ethics and code of practice of RCOT, HCPC and NICE guidelines that I utilise within my practice, the confidentiality of information sharing within 1-1’s, groups and potentially public exposure therapy sessions is of up most importance.
All participants will be given a consent and service agreement form to sign on first session (weather that is 1-1 or group), ensuring that they understand the rules, limits and regulations of the service and all their shared information will be 100% confidential.
