Southern, Ben - Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying), Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Transformation Counselling
Private practice (individual)
Ben is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who graduated with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Before that, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Minor in Mathematics from The University of Waterloo, having switched from the Mathematics program earlier in his academic career.

Ben has long had a passion for relationships. He firmly believes nobody is born into this world to be alone. Thus, he serves as a psychotherapist hoping to help anyone who needs it with the trials and tribulations that life inevitably brings to us. With a focus on relationships, anxiety, depression, communication, esteem, emotional regulation, and trauma, he seeks to support those in need in the way that they need to be supported.

Ben draws upon multiple areas and evidence bases to support his treatment. Coming from a place of warmth and compassion, and through active listening he tailor's treatments to whoever is in front of him. Finding a home base in Acceptance and Commitment therapy for individuals, and Gottman-Style Therapy for couples, he borrows on other modalities as well when relevant and useful. Ben's guiding philosophy is to become obsolete, such that his clients no longer require his services.

Ben provides a space for clients to let out all that is inside, that perhaps they can't let out with anyone else in their lives. A space to explore the self, to be heard, and to grow. He helps clients feel at ease in his office through warm compassion and a humorous light-hearted approach.

In his spare time Ben enjoys intramural Dodgeball, weight training, video games, drawing, anime, and quality time with friends.
