About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety and grief. He uses a calm, open style so clients can say what matters to them. He supports people with relationship concerns and LGBTQ issues.
He also works with depression, eating and self-esteem struggles and life changes. Ryan trained with a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Relational Counselling and has three years' experience in the field. He keeps sessions warm and straightforward.
Background and approach
He prioritises listening first, then helps people try simple steps they can use between meetings. His approach draws on attachment ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships. He also uses client-centred methods to follow each person's pace and focus.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered when practical tools are helpful for managing anxiety and stress. Sessions often include gentle practical tasks and mindfulness exercises to ease racing thoughts. Conversations explore how relationships, loss and identity shape daily life.
Ryan aims to help people feel less overwhelmed and to build small routines that improve day-to-day coping. People typically find the first few sessions are about making a clear plan together. That plan matches current problems, personal values and what feels manageable.
Ryan invites questions and works at a steady pace to help people move forward when they are ready.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Ryan commonly blends attachment-based work with client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current connections and helps people understand patterns in close relationships. Client-centred counselling means sessions follow the person's pace and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what comes up. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, needs and preferences and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process means methods can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
The online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.
