Hello I'm Ben, Principal Psychologist at Sollus Psychology,
I believe that creating a strong human connection from the first session is essential. The formation of an authentic person to person relationship is the foundation for positive treatment outcomes. My therapeutic approach utilises an individualized, integrated, person-centred focus which is drawn from a range of treatment modalities including CBT, TF-CBT, MI, ACT, Positive Psychology and DBT. With a sound knowledge of the intrinsic link between the body and the mind, I apply a holistic, transdiagnostic approach to reducing psychological distress and functional impairment. Active Listening, mindfulness, somatic psychotherapy and evidence based treatment of mental health conditions are important elements of each session.
Having worked in forensic settings and private practice, I have a strong understanding of the complexity of mental health conditions and their development and treatment. I am passionate about understanding and treating trauma related presentations, particularly CPTSD and PTSD, and I continue to develop clinical competencies related to relational and developmental trauma and their functional consequences. I am also accredited through the US Veterans Affairs (National Centre for PTSD) for assessment of PTSD utilizing the gold standard Clinical Assessment of PTSD Scale (CAPS-5).
