A recovery-focused counsellor for life changes
About Raymond
Raymond Ronan is a counsellor with a BA Honours in Counselling and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has seven years of practice and a background in finance and senior management before moving into therapeutic work. Raymond draws on his own life changes to support people through difficult periods.
He speaks plainly and uses everyday language in sessions. He helps people talk through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.
Background and approach
He also supports clients with relationship and family issues, grief, parenting pressures, anger and career or life transitions. Raymond also focuses on more specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems. He is experienced with issues connected to ageing, blended family dynamics and alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink.
His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). In sessions he aims to be empathic, genuine and non-judgemental while helping people notice what matters to them and take small practical steps forward. Raymond offers sessions in English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to his availability.

How Raymond’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and to take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raymond will discuss options with each person, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust the plan as goals and needs become clearer. The aim is to work together to pick practical tools that feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people prefer that connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when visual contact is not needed. Live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins, written reflections and more frequent contact between longer sessions. Many people find these options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving and travel.
