Ben Lee

I am a registered social worker with 6+ years of experience working across various mental health programs. Through these experiences, I’ve learnt that mental health can’t be meaningfully or ethically understood without looking at inequalities in our social world: colonization, racism, and other systems of oppression. I’ve worked with people struggling with a wide range of challenges, including gender and sexuality issues, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Although I enjoy working in these areas and firmly believe that each new relationship is a unique and uncharted experience, I am especially excited to work with LGBTQ+ clients.

My counselling approach is grounded in a deep respect for the therapeutic relationship. I believe that mental health is best understood through the lens of our past and present patterns in relationships. I work hard to be collaborative, warm, and curious, inviting you to remain open to what comes alive in the room between us. In partnership with my clients, my goal as a counsellor is to co-create a space for exploration, reflection, and self-understanding, to enhance your psychological flexibility and freedom.
