Ryan Lunn, BACP

Ryan Lunn offers therapy rooted in relational and person-centred practice. He is a BACP clinician and uses approaches that focus on relationships, present experience, and practical thought patterns. He writes simply and aims to make the first steps easier for anyone feeling overwhelmed by change.

Ryan has three years of practice and a BA Hons in Contemporary Relational Counselling. He works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports those dealing with grief and bereavement, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties and career-related stress.

In sessions he takes a calm, down-to-earth approach. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, manageable changes. He draws on cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships affect the present.

He also uses emotionally-focused and mindfulness approaches to help people notice and regulate strong feelings. That can make conversations easier and give practical ways to cope day to day. Ryan pays attention to body image, eating concerns, self-esteem, and the effects of trauma or abuse.

People can expect a respectful space where they are listened to without judgement. If you have questions about how he works or want to know whether his style might help, you can use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and arrange a session.

How relational and practical approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape feelings and reactions today. Online sessions can help people spot patterns in how they connect with others and practice different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the here-and-now and on creating a safe, non-judgemental space for talking. That style helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and to be heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. It often involves small exercises between sessions to try out new ways of thinking and coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to find what fits a person's goals, needs and preferences. That might mean blending methods or trying something for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is made.

For practical matters, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video for a session, for example when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is wanted. Many registered or accredited professionals find online therapy effective for the kinds of issues Ryan addresses.
