Raymond Ronan, BACP

Raymond Ronan is a UK-based therapist with a BA Honours degree in Counselling and membership of the BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over seven years as a professional therapist and coach have followed a diverse earlier career in accounting for the aerospace industry, senior management and director roles in financial services, and work as a corporate banker. He also set up and ran sole trader and limited companies before leaving the corporate world to retrain in counselling.

His personal journey includes a period of acute mental health crisis that resulted in admission to a psychiatric hospital, followed by a long recovery and life-rebuild. He is also a survivor of liver cancer who underwent a liver resection and is now cancer free; during that time he lost his brother to the same illness. Those lived experiences inform his therapeutic perspective and contribute to a practical, empathetic approach to supporting others.

Raymond offers dedicated, client-focused support to people from around the world. He works with issues such as substance misuse and addictions, depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and confidence, self-esteem, loss and grief, relationship and family conflicts including child custody matters, cancer-related concerns, safeguarding and self-care, mindfulness and focusing therapy, and work or education-related problems. He brings empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard to therapy, and encourages clients to take the courageous first step toward change.
