About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and a range of other life challenges including ADHD and eating concerns.
Ryan practises in a straightforward, person-focused way. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. He draws on client-centred listening so people can say what matters to them and be heard. Cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods are used when they help with unhelpful thinking or intense feelings.
Sessions aim to make room for practical steps as well as emotional processing. Ryan talks through setting clearer boundaries, coping with emptiness, and improving communication. He also supports people affected by trauma, abandonment, body-image worries and codependency patterns without promising quick fixes.
He has specific experience with LGBTQ issues and with grief and bereavement. That includes helping people manage the everyday effects of loss, and the stress that comes with life changes and relationship endings.
Ryan explains his approach in plain terms and invites questions about how therapy will work. Prospective clients are encouraged to check session options before booking and to use the initial matching process to arrange a first appointment.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Ryan commonly uses attachment-based approaches and cognitive behavioural therapy in his practice. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships affect current reactions and helps people notice repeated patterns in relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Ryan will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods suited to their needs. That means reviewing what helps, adjusting techniques, and checking progress together rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm which formats are offered when you book. Where formats are not specified here, check available options during the matching step. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help maintain consistency while people work on relationships, codependency patterns, grief and stress.
