About Ryan

Ryan Lunn works with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship issues using relational and evidence-informed counselling approaches. He offers one-to-one sessions that focus on what is happening for the individual and how patterns in relationships and thinking can affect mood and coping. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Ryan trained with a BA Hons in Contemporary Relational Counselling and practises from that relational perspective. He listens for attachment patterns and recurring ways of relating that can make current problems harder to manage. Sessions include talking through recent difficulties, reflecting on past experiences that colour current relationships, and noticing how thoughts and behaviours link to anxiety or low mood.

He draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities and uses cognitive behavioural techniques where thinking patterns and behaviours are keeping problems active. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used to look at difficult emotions in relationships and how they show up between people. Mindfulness methods are offered to build simple awareness skills for managing stress and intrusive thoughts.

Ryan also has experience supporting people with identity-related concerns including LGBT issues, and practical life stresses such as career pressures, eating and body image problems, and navigating bereavement. He is able to discuss attachment, abandonment and communication difficulties as part of therapy.

Sessions are conducted in English and he is based in the United Kingdom. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details on the service sign-up flow.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Ryan draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns influence current difficulties, especially in relationships and identity concerns. This approach helps to identify recurring ways of relating that maintain distress and offers chances to try new responses.

He also uses client-centred methods which focus on the person’s priorities, helping them set the agenda and pace of sessions. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when it is helpful to notice and gently test unhelpful thoughts and habits that contribute to anxiety or low mood.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and they will adjust the way they work as understanding grows.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular appointments and try brief strategy sessions or longer talking sessions according to what best suits everyday life.
