About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience supporting adults through stressful life events and relationship difficulties. He holds a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Relational Counselling and works with people facing grief, loss and bereavement, as well as stress, anxiety and depression.
Ryan also helps people with concerns linked to identity and sexuality, including LGBT issues. He pays attention to how attachment and past relationships shape present behaviour. That includes difficulties with self-esteem, eating, and coping with change.
Sessions are conversational and grounded in recognised counselling approaches. Ryan uses attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and practical ways to try different responses.
Clients can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on what matters now. He offers mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused work when these fit the client’s goals. Practical problem solving and exploring feelings sit alongside relationship-focused discussion.
Ryan works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. If you want to know how to begin, he asks people to use the online booking route and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Ryan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships influence feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people understand patterns that affect current interactions and relationship choices. Client-centred work means sessions focus on the person’s experience, using listening and reflection to clarify what matters and what to work on.He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses in day-to-day life. CBT-style tasks can be practical and short, which some people find easier to fit into a weekly routine. Together, therapist and client decide which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences, reviewing what helps as work progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around family and work commitments and lowering travel time. Different online formats suit different needs, so please confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find brief exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT homework fit well when sessions are remote, while longer conversational work can continue in the same way as face-to-face counselling.
