Benjamin is one of the pioneers of ACT in the French-speaking world. He moved to Quebec in October 2010 where he founded the Contextual Psychology Institute. He has been a member of the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec since January 2012.

Benjamin is an international ACT trainer, recognized by the ACBS association and a certified FAP trainer. The author of several books, chapters and articles on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), he has done much to disseminate the simple, intuitive model of the ACT matrix throughout the world.

Benjamin developed the six-step approach that is widely used at CPC and throughout the world. More recently, he trained in PBBT (Process-Based Behavior Therapy), an approach based on the theory that undergirds ACT. PBBT aims to help us to (re)connect with who we really are, in order to live our most authentic lives. In 2023, he became one of the world’s top 20 experts in PBBT.

Benji works with adults, couples, teenagers, under 12s and their parents. He works with autistic people from an affirmative perspective. His goal is to help autistic folks free themselves from the negative messages they have received growing up different and to live their life to the full.

Finally, Benjamin offers therapy and support to people directly or indirectly affected by the massacres and war crimes currently being committed in West Asia.
