About Ryan

Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor who focuses on building a warm, open relationship with each person he meets. He offers a calm space to talk about grief, stress, anxiety and issues connected to being LGBT. He also helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, eating issues and life changes.

Ryan uses ways of working that centre the person's experience. He listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

That can mean looking at how early attachments affect current relationships or using practical steps to manage anxious thoughts. In sessions he keeps language straightforward and aims for things that make a real difference day to day. That might be short exercises to practise between meetings, new ways to respond in difficult moments, or slowing down to identify what matters most.

He has three years of experience supporting people through bereavement, trauma and transitions. His background includes a BA Hons in Contemporary Relational Counselling, which shapes a relational, person-focused way of working. Ryan offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging.

Sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Ryan works online using approaches that focus on relationships and helping people make practical changes. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that affect trust and closeness. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and space to find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try simple behavioural steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options with clients, consider what matters most to them, and agree a way of working that fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer, conversational work while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, reflection between meetings or when writing helps someone think things through. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping focus on the therapeutic relationship and practical progress.
