About Raymond

Raymond Guddah uses a blend of talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and life changes. He works in an interactive style that aims to build respect and understanding. Raymond is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, listed as BACP, and he practises from the United Kingdom.

He brings 15 years of experience in community and residential rehab settings and in mental health services across the UK.

Background and approach

That background means he is familiar with addiction work and the practical challenges people face when recovering. He has also worked with people from Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Sessions usually include a mix of talking, practical strategies and reflection.

Raymond draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and on cognitive behavioural approaches to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to support readiness for change and to set clear goals.

People consult him for a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also focuses on process addictions such as gambling, exercise or porn, and on sex addiction and seasonal affective disorder. Raymond aims to agree a treatment plan that fits each person’s needs.

He encourages practical steps alongside exploring feelings, so clients leave sessions with concrete tools and a clearer sense of direction.

How Raymond blends approaches online

Raymond commonly combines cognitive behavioural techniques with psychodynamic and motivational approaches when working online. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice repeated patterns and past influences that turn up in current relationships. Motivational interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and build commitment to change, which suits addiction work and other goals.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Raymond discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts the methods over time. He aims to agree a flexible plan that fits what the person wants to achieve and how they like to work, and he checks in regularly to make sure the approach remains useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or when someone prefers to write rather than speak. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for different lifestyles.
