About Raymond

Raymond Guddah combines a psychodynamic outlook with practical, goal-focused work. He draws on 15 years of practice to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma. Raymond is a BACP member and works with people from many countries in English.

He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from a person's past and how they affect today. That can help when someone keeps repeating the same relationship or coping problems.

Background and approach

He also brings in cognitive behavioural skills to break unhelpful thoughts and habits into smaller, changeable steps. Motivational Interviewing is part of his toolkit when someone feels unsure about making changes. That approach helps people find their own reasons for change and build confidence to act.

Solution-Focused techniques are used when the aim is to set clear, practical short-term goals and notice small wins. Raymond has worked in community and residential rehabilitation settings and in mental health services across the UK. He describes his style as interactive, respectful and compassionate.

Sessions typically include a mix of talking, practical exercises and planning to suit each person's needs. People contact him for issues such as grief, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, bipolar mood management, ADHD, anger and seasonal mood shifts. He also supports those facing process addictions including pornography, gambling and excessive exercise, and concerns linked to sex addiction and jealousy.

If someone is ready to start, Raymond asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Raymond uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see how early relationships and past experiences shape current patterns. In online sessions he listens for recurring themes and helps a person understand why they act or feel a certain way, which can make changing habits easier.

He also brings Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and many addictive behaviours because it breaks problems into clear steps to try between sessions.

Picking the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through what matters most, try techniques together and adjust the plan as needs and goals become clearer. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the sessions stay useful and realistic.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face when they want that connection, phone needs less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins and text messaging helps maintain contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and to keep steady progress over time.
