About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He draws on three years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns. His work also covers LGBT matters, eating and body image difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Ryan aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful feelings. He matches a straightforward, personal style with practical ways to make life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the client right now. His practice uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present patterns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to shift them. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person’s own goals and pace. Ryan has experience helping people with trauma and abuse, family problems, ADHD and grief across varied life stages.
He also supports those dealing with career stress, communication problems and separation or divorce. He listens for the practical steps someone can take between sessions. Sessions are available in English and provided to people located in the United Kingdom.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging depending on what suits the client. Getting started involves a short online matching questionnaire and booking a session that fits the person’s schedule.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. In online sessions this can help uncover why certain reactions repeat and make space for new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tests small changes through practical experiments. It suits anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines. Client-centred therapy places the person’s perspective and goals at the centre, offering a steady, non-directive environment to find clarity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and aims. This may mean combining techniques, adjusting pace or trying different ways of working until it feels right for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, each with practical strengths. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to match therapy to daily routines and to continue work between sessions.
