Ryan Lunn, BACP

Ryan Lunn is a BACP-registered therapist with a BA Hons degree in Contemporary Relational Counselling and over three years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. He works with individuals dealing with grief, loss, and bereavement, the many forms that stress and anxiety can take, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, and both personal and professional relationship difficulties.

Ryan creates a warm, open, and compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. His training in relational counselling informs a focus on how relationships - past and present - shape emotional experience, and he combines this with practical strategies to help clients manage day-to-day challenges such as low mood, self-esteem difficulties, and career-related stress.

Clients seeking support for trauma, family issues, eating and body image concerns, or the complexities of life transitions will find an approach attentive to individual history and current needs. Ryan values collaboration and aims to walk alongside clients as they identify goals, develop coping skills, and build more fulfilling connections. He welcomes questions and is available to discuss how therapy might fit a client’s circumstances and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Ryan blends approaches to meet each person’s needs, often drawing on attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioural techniques to support emotional healing and practical change. Attachment-based therapy explores how early and important relationships influence current patterns, helping people understand connection, loss, and trust issues in relationships.

Client-centered therapy focuses on building an accepting, non-judgemental relationship with the therapist so clients feel heard and able to explore their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Ryan works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time to suit changing needs. Registered professionals and therapists often tailor sessions to each person’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy with Ryan is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, while keeping sessions practical and focused on the outcomes a client wants to achieve.
