Trauma | Healing | Embodiment

Welcome to Drunken Buddha

Hi, I’m Ben.

I help people to unravel the
painful patterns of thinking and feeling that keep them trapped in a life of struggle, fear and inauthenticity…
and make life juicy again!

How Can I Help You?

I work with people one-on-one using an experiential, body-based therapy, which I call Somatic Inquiry.

By working with the root of your suffering—stuck energy and repressed emotions in the body—we sow the seeds of deep and lasting peace and authenticity.

My work is a combination of:

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Bottom-up trauma healing

  • Emotional processing

  • Parts and inner child work

  • Spiritual self-inquiry

What My Clients Say About Me

  • Caroline, UK

    Ben is the most amazing, caring, and knowledgeable therapist. He is one of the very few professionals I've worked with who I feel really 'gets it'.

    I feel completely safe in his sessions to experience, process, and express the deep dark stuff that most other people I've worked with couldn't handle.

  • Audra, USA

    When I came to see Ben, I was miserable. After several months of working with him, I feel alive!

    Life is bright and colourful, and I am able to see and experience the positive in life. I am kind to myself and feel more connected to myself and others. I trust myself and others and am able to experience a full range of emotions without fear of being overwhelmed.

  • Justine, Australia

    Thanks to sessions with Ben I am seeing real, true transformation: a lessening of limitations, suffering and physical & emotional ailments.

    I am clearer, more present. My mind is working better, as is my intuition. I am feeling safer and stronger in myself and my life, as well as experiencing true healing in a grounded way.

  • Taylor, Australia

    Working with Ben has granted me a safe space to feel again. Whenever I try to access my feelings I quickly numb out or disassociate.

    With his compassionate inquiry and amazing ability to hold space, I slowly unravelled tension stuck in my body. His approach is gentle and non-judgmental which is something I appreciated greatly. I look forward to working with him again.

  • Patrick, UK

    My time working with Ben has been very revealing of the hidden causes of my addictive and problematic behaviours.

    I had no idea so much feeling was trapped in my system and in need of attention. Ben used simple but effective techniques to gently get in touch with these hidden feelings and give them the care and attention that they couldn't receive when they were caused during the painful knocks of earlier life.

“You should try trauma-informed somatic work, it’s the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to healing and spiritual development. Seriously. That’s what I was doing in the desert that whole time.”

(OK, Jesus didn’t really say that, but it’s true!).
