About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor with a BA Hons in Contemporary Relational Counselling and three years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with grief and bereavement, stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, and relationship issues in personal and professional life.
Ryan focuses on helping clients name difficult emotions and understand how past experiences shape present patterns. He uses approaches that attend to attachment and emotion to help people notice what keeps them stuck and what might change. Sessions are conversational and aimed at making feelings clearer rather than using technical language.
People come to Ryan for help with depression, low self-esteem, eating and body image issues, and coping with life changes. He also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, ADHD, communication problems, and family difficulties. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness-based work are available alongside emotion-focused methods.
Ryan describes his way of working as client-centred. He prioritises honest dialogue and steady pacing so people can explore difficult topics at a manageable speed. He will discuss which approaches fit the client’s needs and offer gentle challenges when helpful.
Sessions are run in English and reflect three years of clinical experience. Information about how to start is available through the platform's matching process and scheduling tools.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about identifying and naming emotions that affect relationships and behaviour. It can help when someone struggles to understand or express strong feelings and when relationship patterns repeat without clear reasons.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current connections and responses. It helps people recognise patterns of closeness and distance and experiment with different ways of relating.
Client-Centred Therapy relies on open, non-directive conversation to let clients lead what they want to focus on. This approach supports exploring personal concerns at a comfortable pace and can pair well with other focused techniques.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ryan will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be easier to attend. If you need clarity about the session formats offered, confirm the current options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy workable alongside everyday life.
