About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He works mainly with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns, and with people from LGBT backgrounds. He trained with a BA Hons in Contemporary Relational Counselling and uses several common therapeutic approaches in his practice.
Ryan offers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. He listens to what matters most to the client and helps them identify manageable steps forward. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and feelings, and at how thoughts and behaviours influence mood and coping.
His approach draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early bonds shape current relationships. He also uses client-centred methods that place the client's perspective at the heart of the work. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical changes in thinking and behaviour will help reduce distress.
Many clients come for help with grief, bereavement and the stress that follows major life changes. Others seek support for eating concerns, low self-esteem, work or career pressures, and trauma or abuse. Additional areas he addresses include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and communication problems.
Sessions are aimed at helping people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Ryan explains options and works collaboratively to set goals and review progress. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before their first meeting to clarify priorities and next steps.

How his approaches work in online counselling
Ryan uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships influence current feelings and interactions. This approach can help with recurring relationship patterns, grief reactions and issues around attachment and abandonment. Client-centred work places the person's own experience and priorities at the centre of each session, supporting exploration and emotional processing at the client's pace.He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques when a focus on changing unhelpful thoughts or behaviours is useful. CBT-style exercises can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and practical coping strategies. Together these methods offer both reflection on relationships and hands-on tools to manage symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will review goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as they go. This is a collaborative process that starts by clarifying what the client wants to address and testing methods to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer ways to book and reschedule that fit everyday life.
