About Arben
Arben "Ben" Delija is a counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred approach. He adapts sessions to each person and focuses on practical ways to ease day-to-day problems like sleep, stress and anxiety.
Ben mixes client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns and try small behaviour changes. He also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and motivational interviewing to support motivation and emotional regulation. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on.
He draws on five years of practice alongside a longer history supporting people with drug and alcohol issues. That earlier work included one-to-one meetings and group sessions that emphasised harm reduction and realistic steps forward. This background influences the way he approaches addiction and recovery conversations.
Ben has supported people through grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma from childhood, relationship and intimacy concerns, and family-related stresses. He also helps with career pressures, anger, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Sleep and rest are part of the concerns he addresses alongside these issues.
Ben holds accreditation with NCPS and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English and Albanian and works with people from different countries. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment according to the process on the site.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions with this approach aim to create a space where someone can talk through stress, sleep problems and relationship worries at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes. In online sessions CBT techniques might include guided activity planning, tracking sleep and testing new routines to ease anxiety and improve rest.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. When used online it can help with anger, intense stress and behaviours linked to addiction by teaching concrete breathing, grounding and distress-tolerance strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together with the client decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and current needs. That collaborative process can change over time as goals shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into a busy life, making it easier to attend sessions around work, childcare or travel. It also allows tools like screen-shared worksheets, sleep logs and brief check-in messages when agreed by both parties.
