About Arben
Arben "Ben" Delija is a counsellor who combines several practical approaches to meet each person's needs. He works with people on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and bereavement. He also supports those dealing with trauma and life changes.
Ben describes his work as integrative, mixing person-centred ways of listening with cognitive and behavioural techniques. He draws on dialectical behaviour ideas and attachment perspectives to help people understand how relationships and early experiences affect them now.
He has a long background supporting people with drug and alcohol problems. That work included group sessions and one-to-one support, with a focus on harm reduction over 18 years. That experience informs how he talks about addiction and recovery with clients today.
Ben holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS refers to the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. His profile also notes five years of counselling practice alongside longer specialist experience in addictions.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Ben helps people set small, practical steps and build skills to manage emotion, relationships and everyday strains. He is able to work in English and Albanian and is based in the United Kingdom.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active, empathetic listening and respects each person's pace. Online sessions using this approach give space for someone to speak and be heard, helping with stress, low self-esteem and grief.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches skills to change them. In an online setting CBT can be used to manage anxiety, sleeping problems, depression and coping with life changes through practical exercises and short homework tasks.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Delivered online, DBT-style work can help with anger, intense emotions and relationship difficulties through skills coaching and planned practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow follow-up between sessions through agreed check-ins. Registered and accredited professionals often use online appointments to maintain regular contact and to support steady progress.
