Ryan Lunn, BACP

Ryan Lunn is a BACP-registered therapist with a BA Hons degree in Contemporary Relational Counselling and three years of clinical experience supporting people through difficult life chapters. He works with a broad range of concerns, including grief and bereavement, stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related issues, relationship difficulties, depression, family problems, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, and adjustment to life changes. Ryan also focuses on areas such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and the emotional impacts of divorce and separation.

Ryan aims to offer a warm, accepting therapeutic space where people can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment. He draws on relational training to attend closely to how patterns from past relationships influence present struggles, and he uses a client-centered stance to prioritize each person’s experience and goals. The BACP credential indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting professional standards and ongoing development. Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Ryan emphasizes a collaborative, paced approach that respects individual readiness. He is available to answer questions and to support people as they take the first steps toward change and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ryan integrates attachment-based and client-centered approaches with cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and recurring relationship patterns by focusing on emotional connection and security. Client-centered therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and acceptance so clients can clarify values, strengths, and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Ryan collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts pace and techniques so the work feels relevant and manageable, and decisions about direction are made together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text messaging when that suits a person better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility needs, and allow people to access ongoing support from licensed professionals in ways that feel most comfortable.
