About Ryan

Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief and bereavement, LGBTQIA+ concerns and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with depression, eating issues, self-esteem struggles and life changes.

Ryan trained with a BA Hons in Contemporary Relational Counselling and uses that background to focus on how relationships shape current problems. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. He listens to what matters and helps people clarify what they want to change.

Ryan draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. This means sessions can include reflecting on past patterns, practising new ways of thinking and trying small changes between meetings. He explains tools in plain language and checks they feel useful.

He is used to talking about sensitive topics like trauma, abuse, and bereavement. He also offers support for concerns such as ADHD-related difficulties, body image and communication problems. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage in daily life.

People meet Ryan when they want a steady, practical way to address anxiety, relationship strain or the effects of loss. He encourages questions before a first meeting and asks people to choose a first step that feels manageable.

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work pays attention to how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how someone relates to others and try new responses in discussion.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directive advice. Practically, this means the therapist follows what the person brings and helps them make sense of it using simple, direct conversation.

Cognitive behavioural ideas bring attention to thoughts and small behavioural experiments. Online meetings can include setting brief tasks between sessions and reviewing what felt different.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs. It is normal to adjust direction as sessions progress.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online meetings helpful because they can fit sessions into busy days, use shorter check-ins when needed, avoid travel time and work on practical tasks between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options, and the therapist will explain which formats he offers when you book.
