Testimonials – Ben Kaye Therapy

“Ben was a gift – just what I needed to get me through a very tough six months. Good listening skills and knowledge. He was adaptable and able to keep me on track – a very challenging task! I would recommend his and your services’ – whilst at Dorset Mind.”

Online client, Dorset Mind.

“Ben was passionate about supporting young people. He was approachable and understanding with those he worked on a 121 basis with, however always had time for others when they wanted to have a chat. Young people felt at ease when speaking to him and we have seen some real positive changes in the young people he has worked with.”

Support worker, Space Youth, Dorset.

“Ben was so good with the young people on his placement with us we tried to ‘poach’ you so we could keep you – A rave review!”

CEO, Space Youth, Dorset.

“Ben’s smile makes everyone else smile with him. He is funny, articulate and approachable. He spends time seeing everyones side before considering what to do, which is a rare trait!”

“Hi Ben – I wanted to say a big thank you for your support over the three weeks we were in contact. It was so good to talk to someone who really understood the draw of chemsex – how the rational part of your brain knows it’s a bad idea but the prospect of feeling free, sexy and close with some (albeit for a brief period and not based in reality) often wins in the end. Thank you for helping me to not beat myself up about it but look forward instead.”

Online client, We Are With You.

“You went above and beyond to engage my child and for that I am really grateful. You were also one of the few professionals involved in her journey who really listened and advocated for her, so thank you so much and hope you continue doing this much needed work with our most vulnerable young people.”

“The service offered was amazing, something I desperately needed at the time. Ben really helped me to focus on how I wanted and needed to change. I was in a toxic spiral that was getting really out of hand and risked my health and career. I would highly recommend Ben and his supportive, non judgmental approach.”

“I appreciate your time and candidness, but most of all, I appreciate the warmth that accompanied the ‘realism’. For me, being humanistic whilst delivering a hard message does not dilute the message’s importance or indeed the impact, it just makes it more accessible. Thanks again Ben and I hope to chat with you again.”

“When I started working with Ben, I was struggling with living in London as a gay man. I did not know how to set up healthy boundaries and was sucked into destructive and harmful coping mechanisms. Throughout the months that Ben and I worked together I understood why I responded the way I did and developed healthier ways of understanding myself and my environment. This has allowed me to re-evaluate my relationship with substance usage, self-worth and prioritising what I genuinely care about and what gives me joy. Without judgment, I was able to ask genuine questions to myself, and take actions that are more aligned with my values and goals.”

Thanks to our work together, I was able to steadily improve my mood and mental well-being, and therapy naturally came to a close as I reached a much healthier place. I wouldn’t hesitate to return if I needed support again — I always felt like he had my back, and I’m incredibly grateful for the trust and progress we built together.
