About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor who focuses on supporting men with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. He uses a relational approach to make sense of difficult feelings and to help people find clearer ways of coping. He aims to create a warm and non-judgemental space where talking feels possible.
He has a BA Hons in Contemporary Relational Counselling and three years of practical experience. That time has included helping people process bereavement, navigate changes at work, and manage persistent worry. He also supports those exploring LGBTQIA+ issues and the effects of past trauma.
In sessions he listens for patterns in relationships and emotion. He helps people name what’s happening and try small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. Techniques draw on attachment ideas, mindfulness and cognitive approaches to make thoughts and feelings easier to handle.
Ryan pays attention to how early relationships shape current worries. He uses emotionally focused methods to look at how people connect to others and to themselves. This can be useful for improving communication and reducing repeated conflict or isolation.
His work also addresses specific concerns such as eating and body image, ADHD-related struggles, and issues around abandonment and attachment. He works collaboratively, inviting questions about how therapy is progressing and what might need to change.
Relational and practical approaches for online therapy
Ryan draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current emotions and connections. This helps people understand patterns that show up in stress, low mood or repeated conflicts. He also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s own pace, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where a person’s concerns set the agenda.Many people find cognitive behavioural techniques useful alongside those approaches. These involve noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Together these methods can help with grief, relationship problems, eating concerns and managing change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree what to try based on a client’s goals and preferences. Sessions will be adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can better match everyday life.
