About me

Hi, I’m Ryan - a qualified counsellor working with adults navigating life challenges like anxiety, low mood, depression, or those simply seeking a deeper understanding of themselves.

Counselling, at its heart, is an honest and supportive conversation, one centred entirely around you. It’s a space where you can speak freely, be heard with empathy, and explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

We'll move at a pace that feels right for you, working together to shape a therapeutic approach that respects your individuality and supports your personal goals. With compassion and curiosity, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface, gently uncovering the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that may be contributing to your stress or holding you back.

Whatever you're going through, you’ll be met with compassion, empathy and acceptance. Together, we’ll create space for change, so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.

Sessions are available in a comfortable, accessible space in Redruth, as well as online or over the phone, whichever feels right for you. There's no pressure to commit long-term.

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.

Key details

DBS check info

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
