About me

Are you feeling stuck? 

Hi, I'm Ryan, and I am here to help you.

Life can look fine on the outside, but underneath you may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or caught in repeating cycles. I work with individuals and couples who are coping day-to-day, but sense that something isn’t quite holding together.

I offer therapy in person and online. My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in both professional training and lived experience. Sessions provide space to slow things down, understand what’s driving current patterns, and work towards steady, meaningful change.

I have specialist experience supporting clients with

• anxiety and depression

• relationship problems (for both couples and individuals)

• ADHD and Autism

• addiction and compulsive behaviours

• food and eating challenges

• binge eating disorder (BED)

• body image concerns and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)

• grief (including pet bereavement)

• trauma 

These challenges often intersect and show up most clearly in our relationships, communication, identity, and self-worth.

Many clients I work with are navigating neurodivergence, burnout, or high-performance environments. I offer a grounded, non-judgemental space, where careful reflection is possible. 

Alongside that reflection, you will gain clarity and direction that helps you to make sense of complexity, and move forward with purpose. My experience as a coach, leader, and manager allows us to work in a more goal-focused and strategic way, when it’s helpful and appropriate to do so.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a BACP Registered Therapist, having spent over ten years taking referrals from the NHS and then developing my private practice to best suit the needs of the clients I work with. I have additional qualifications and experience in Coaching, Leadership and Management.

I am very experienced working online with expats and internationally mobile professionals.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information

I offer sessions in-person, online, or by telephone - whatever feels most comfortable and convenient for you. My counselling room is private, welcoming, and discreet, based within a professional office setting to ensure confidentiality and safety at all times.

People come to therapy for many reasons: to reflect, to process experiences, to make changes, or simply to have a safe space that’s just for them. However you arrive, you’ll be met with understanding and support.

You’re welcome to begin with a single session and see how it feels, with no obligation to continue. If you decide to, we can work together in a way that suits you best - whether that’s short-term, longer-term, or a more structured, goal-focused approach.
