About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters. He helps with stress, anxiety, grief and bereavement, relationship concerns, and LGBT issues. He also supports people dealing with depression, eating difficulties, self-esteem and life changes.
Ryan spends sessions listening first, and then working together to find practical ways forward. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
He also uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and mindful techniques to reduce overwhelm. His approach is conversational and grounded. Conversations are tailored to the person in front of him rather than following a fixed script.
Clients can expect clear explanations, gentle challenges, and simple exercises to try between sessions. With three years of practice, Ryan has worked with a range of concerns including trauma, family problems, communication difficulties and abandonment issues. He emphasises pace and safety so people feel ready to share difficult memories and try new ways of relating.
Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom. He uses his BACP registration as a professional framework for practice and aims to help people find more balance and clarity in daily life.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Ryan commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice and change repeated ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working until something fits. This collaborative stance means approaches can be adapted as you and the therapist learn what helps most.
Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, chores and family life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and offer ways to practise mindfulness or CBT tasks between meetings that slot into everyday routines.
