About Arben
Arben "Ben" Delija is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has five years of experience as an integrative counsellor and longer involvement supporting people affected by drug and alcohol issues. Ben works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and anger.
He combines person-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. That mix helps people notice how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and then try practical steps to change patterns that cause trouble. Motivational interviewing is part of his work when people want to change behaviours like drinking or using substances.
Ben has around 18 years’ experience working with people affected by drug and alcohol issues, using harm reduction and both group and one-to-one formats. He also supports those coping with bereavement, childhood trauma and parenting strains. He describes attachment-informed work as part of how he understands relationships and recurring difficulties.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with space to talk through recent events and rehearsed responses. People can expect to learn practical techniques from CBT and DBT alongside reflective discussions about past patterns. He adapts tools to the problem people bring, whether that is anger that escalates at home or long-standing low mood.
Ben offers sessions in English and Albanian and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and practical details via the platform's booking flow.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they feel understood and can find their own solutions; it can help when anger comes from feeling unseen or unheard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and introduces practical exercises to change those patterns; it is often useful for workplace anger or repeated outbursts. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for managing intense feelings and improving responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then pick techniques together. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift focus from skill practice to talking about difficult history as needed.
Session arrangements should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel. Confirm which formats are offered and how scheduling works when you use the See online therapy options button and complete the short matching questionnaire.
