Raymond Guddah, BACP

Raymond Guddah offers a practical, interactive approach grounded in psychodynamic ideas and addiction work. He is a British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists member, and he draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as part of his toolkit. Raymond writes plainly and works with respect, sensitivity and compassion to help people take the next step.

He has more than 15 years of experience working in community and residential rehab settings and in UK mental health services. That background means he often helps people make clear plans, manage cravings, and understand patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions aim to build self-efficacy so people can use what they learn between meetings.

Raymond focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship concerns, and also supports people with trauma, grief, parenting strain, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and self-esteem struggles. He also works with process addictions such as porn, exercise and gambling, and with sex addiction and seasonal affective disorder. He matches practical strategies with deeper reflection to address both immediate problems and longer-standing patterns.

His style is collaborative and goal-oriented, using motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. He adapts his approach to each person and builds a treatment plan to fit individual needs and goals.

Raymond has worked with clients across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, and he offers sessions in English. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button to complete the short questionnaire and arrange scheduling according to availability.

How Raymond blends therapy approaches for online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early connections. It helps people see how early bonds shape current trust, intimacy and reactions to stress, which can be useful for relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It uses clear strategies and tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood and address addictive behaviours with practical steps between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is a short, collaborative method to strengthen a person's own reasons for change. It is often used alongside other approaches to support readiness and commitment when tackling addictions or life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raymond will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the person's needs. He adapts plans based on what works and what the client feels comfortable doing.

If you prefer to meet online, check the current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quieter surroundings, reduce travel time and enable regular check-ins without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to follow up more consistently and keep momentum between sessions.
