A counsellor apologised to a client after using imagery of ‘a gravestone’ in a therapy session, a court heard today. Benjamin Davis then took his own life only a few months later, having ‘never got over that experience’, his father said.
Benjamin — also known as Binyomin Chaim Davis — died in Salford Royal Hospital on November 28, aged 22. Five days earlier, he was found by father Reuven at his Prestwich home having tried to take his own life.
During an inquest in Bolton today (April 13), private counsellor Avremi Rosenberg admitted that he should have used different wording in his session with Benjamin, who was 21 at the time. He also accepted that the language was ‘inappropriate’.
