About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP psychotherapist who uses a person-centred way of working alongside evidence-based methods. He aims to make sessions calm and direct, helping people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and LGBT-related issues. His approach centres on listening first and then finding practical steps that suit each person.
He has three years of experience supporting people through bereavement and loss, life changes, and low mood. He also works with clients who struggle with eating and body image, self-esteem, career pressures, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at a pace they can manage.
Ryan draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to set realistic goals. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to build trust and explore how relationships affect current difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when helpful to address patterns of thought and behaviour.
In practical terms he aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. People can expect open questions, reflective listening, and collaboratively agreed steps to try between sessions. The work is paced to the client’s needs and reassessed as progress is made.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP, which is shown here as the credential he uses in his professional profile. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps guide the first appointment.

How these approaches guide online work
Ryan commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to build small, achievable steps. This approach suits worries like low motivation, substance-related concerns or difficult habits where finding personal reasons to change helps progress.
He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and recent relationships influence current feelings and responses. That work focuses on patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect mood, trust and connection. Client-Centred Therapy is used to keep conversations person-led, offering empathic listening and reflecting what matters most to the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. This means checking in regularly and adjusting the focus as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions match your routine and comfort. -
