Ben Lee, lead therapist and founder of Coast Tree, is a father in his fifties living in Bonbeach with two teenage sons. After a wide and varied career spanning from gardening to working as a director at a Metro health service, he realised his passion was building relationships with clients, partners, and colleagues. His love for people and desire to support others led him to study Counselling and Psychotherapy at Ikon Institute of Australia, aligning with his experiences with recovery, adult ADHD, parenting, career challenges, and midlife crises. Ben now offers empathetic, collaborative, and non-judgmental counselling where clients can explore their lives, challenges, and dreams. 

Effective therapy relies on the client-therapist relationship. Compatibility is crucial for recovery and growth. A strong connection can lead to meaningful change. To gauge fit, Coast Tree offers a free, confidential initial call to see if Ben can help. Starting therapy can be daunting, so consider a no-obligation call to explore how you feel.

We look forward to your call. 

Just to let you know, we are currently only accepting Zoom sessions and nature-based therapy by arrangement. If you wish to see Ben in person, you can contact Haven Counselling and Psychotherapy in Mornington on 0491 177 896
