Raymond Ronan, BACP

Raymond Ronan is a counsellor with a BA (Honours) in Counselling and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings seven years of professional practice and lived experience to his work. His background includes a major career change after personal crises and a recovery journey that shaped his approach to helping others.

He speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful. Raymond invites people to talk about stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with work problems, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image concerns.

Raymond blends several therapeutic methods to fit each person’s needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. In practice he focuses on practical steps, clearer thinking and changing daily habits that get in the way of feeling better.

He often uses his own recovery and life changes as examples to normalise setbacks and highlight tools that helped him rebuild. Sessions are intended as a place to talk through problems without judgement and to try out different ways of coping. Raymond says he values empathy, honesty and straightforward support.

People from the United Kingdom and overseas can work with him in English. To begin, users follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Raymond’s approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and problems where avoidance has become a pattern.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting with others and managing emotions. This can help with relationship worries, abandonment concerns and patterns that repeat across relationships.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Raymond will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try approaches that fit their situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and keep travel time down. It can also let people use different tools in sessions, such as practical exercises, breathing or grounding practices, and homework between meetings, to help build new day-to-day habits.
