About Ryan

Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss. He also supports those with depression, eating and self-esteem concerns, and people navigating LGBT issues and relationship difficulties. He has three years of experience working with a range of personal challenges and life changes.

Ryan aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. He offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard.

Background and approach

He listens closely and helps each person name what matters most to them. His approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. He uses client-centred ways of working to focus on what the person wants from therapy.

Cognitive behavioural tools are used when thoughts or unhelpful habits need practical attention. Ryan also brings elements of emotionally-focused work to help with strong emotions, and trauma-focused techniques when past events are part of the difficulty. He keeps explanations plain and focuses on small, manageable steps in sessions.

Sessions can include talking, practical exercises and gentle reflection. People often work on coping skills for daily stress, processing grief, or making choices that fit their values. Ryan explains options and helps each person build a plan that suits them.

Ways of working Ryan names

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

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Ryan uses trauma-focused work to gently address the effects of past harm, helping people understand how those events affect feelings and behaviour now. This approach can help with symptoms that come from abuse, loss or other distressing experiences.

He also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how relationships shape emotional patterns, and on client-centred therapy which places the person’s goals and pace at the centre of sessions. Attachment work is useful for addressing connection and trust issues, while client-centred methods keep the focus on what the person wants to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ryan will discuss options and make choices together with each person based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what feels most useful for the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good when seeing facial expressions matters, phone calls suit people who need lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility needs, while keeping therapy adaptable to different rhythms.
