Ryan Lunn is a BACP-registered therapist who brings over three years of experience supporting people through challenging life moments. He holds a BA Hons degree in Contemporary Relational Counselling, a Bachelor of Arts with Honours that focused on relational approaches to therapy, and is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

He specialises in helping clients navigate grief, loss and bereavement, the varied ways stress and anxiety present, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, and relationship difficulties both personal and professional. His practice also addresses broader life transitions and emotional struggles that often accompany these issues.

Ryan aims to create a warm, open and compassionate space where people can explore thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. He recognises that beginning therapy can feel like a significant step and acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out. He offers supportive, person-focused care and is available to answer questions and guide clients as they start their therapeutic work together.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and expectations. It helps people understand attachment needs and patterns in relationships, which can be useful for addressing intimacy, trust and abandonment concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathy, acceptance and non-directive support so clients can explore their experiences and find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem and addressing life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. CBT can help people learn new coping skills and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ryan works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the work as therapy progresses to ensure a good match between method and client.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life. These formats allow registered professionals to provide ongoing support and continuity of care while removing barriers related to travel and scheduling.
