21 year old homeless male ??

Ben is a 21 year old homeless male, who is currently sleeping rough on the streets of London. Sometimes, after finding a good spot to bed down for the night, Ben is reluctant to abandon it the next day in case somebody else takes it, so he sits and begs on the same spots for most days.

Ben feels that everyone else is better than he is, as a child he never lived up to his fathers expectations of him or had the same interests as his father. His father would fail in life so Ben feels he has. Before he left home he enjoyed drawing and painting and although his teachers said he had a talent in this area, his father said it was not a suitable career for a son of his

Sometimes Ben visits daycentre for the homeless and has been offered an appointment with a humanistic counsellor.

What is stopping Ben from self actualising?

How would a humanistic counsellor work with Ben to help him towards achieving self actualisation?

I am confused- i had written this up but wasn't sure if it was right- could you help me out please =D

Thanks
Amy
