About me
Hey, my name is Ryan and I'm a qualified MBACP registered psychotherapist who works with males of any age, offering Person-Centred Walk and Talk therapy for men around the beautiful scenery of Ely, as well as face-to-face and online therapy.

Mens mental health is worryingly under-represented, misunderstood, and often just ignored. I want to support as many men as I can, help to nurture their inner monologue and support them in finally being able to be open and honest about what it's like being them. A supportive presence can be enough to change your whole perspective.
This is why I've dedicated my therapeutic work to supporting men.
Under 18's Sit down therapy:
Our young men have it harder than ever before, and with the confusing and conflicting messages that bombard them, it's no wonder they can often feel lost and unsure of how they feel or how to express how they feel.
I facilitate a space for them to safely explore their own world, without the external pressures that tell them what they can and cannot feel. This is a unique experience, one that allows them to discover who they are, what's important for them and how to express themselves, whilst leading the sessions at their own pace.
Mens Walk & Talk:
We all know how beneficial walking can be for us, both psychologically and physiologically and the same is true for therapy, so the power of both blended into one cannot be understated. Walking in nature is a cleansing experience which allows you to let go of stresses, even if only for an hour, whilst therapy is often an explorative experience which allows you to delve into many aspects of your life which is why the combination of both is so potent. This is especially true when you learn to embrace what the world throws at you, which is why sessions with me continue in rain or shine.
If you don't like being cooped up all day, the idea of sitting still for 50 minutes makes you itch or maybe you just like being outside doing something physical, then come for a walk with me.
Online:
Sometimes finding the time to attend therapy in person feels impossible, especially with the busy lives we all live, and with all the other priorities fighting for their place, therapy can fall to the wayside. This is where online therapy becomes useful, with the same quality of sessions being offered in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
I hope to see you soon.

Member organisations
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
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.
