Besma (Bess) Benali, Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, RSW, Counselling Ottawa Nepean. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Brief Psychodynamic Therapy, ACT, and mindfulness. Clients come to me because they are struggling and feel like they are trapped in a darkness that no matter what they have tried (and many have tried therapy before) they can’t pull themselves out. I help my clients understand themselves in ways no one has ever taught them before allowing them to see positive changes.

My practice is New Chapter Counselling and as a clinician at the Mood and Anxiety Program at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Brief Psychodynamic Therapy, ACT, and mindfulness.

Choosing the right therapist can be overwhelming that is why I offer a free telephone conversation (in French or English) to prospective clients. A brief discussion will allow you to get a sense of who I am as a therapist and if I am the right person to help you.
