About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor who focuses on practical, relational work. He helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He also supports people exploring LGBT issues, eating and body image concerns, and codependency. He writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Ryan trained with a BA Hons in Contemporary Relational Counselling and has three years of experience. He creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is hard for them. Sessions tend to centre on understanding patterns in relationships and everyday coping skills rather than technical jargon.
His approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape present relationships. He also uses client-centred methods to keep the person's experience central and cognitive behavioural techniques to work on thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood.
Ryan often supports people dealing with bereavement, separation, work stress, and life transitions. He also works with neurodiversity-related concerns and issues around commitment, communication and abandonment. The focus is on practical steps and clearer ways to manage feelings.
Therapy with him is collaborative; he listens first and then discusses options together. Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. If you want to begin, the Start Therapy button directs you to a short matching questionnaire to get underway.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations can be used to notice those patterns and practise different responses in everyday life. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor following what matters most to the client and reflecting feelings and priorities back. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. You and the counsellor agree together on priorities and on the tasks or exercises that feel useful between sessions.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or family life and fewer travel commitments. Online sessions can make it simpler to have a regular check-in during a lunch break or in the evening, and they can reduce the time involved in attending therapy. The exact session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals offer online work and will discuss how to make sessions suit your routine and needs.
