Raymond Ronan began his professional life in finance and corporate management before retraining as a counsellor. He holds a BA Honours degree in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Over seven years he has built a practice shaped by personal recovery and lived experience, including surviving cancer and recovering from a period of serious mental ill health. He speaks plainly and directly in sessions.

Background and approach

He invites clients to talk through what matters most and works to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Practical steps and small goals are often part of his work, alongside listening and reflection. Clients can expect an open, non-judgemental space where empathy, genuineness and acceptance are central.

Raymond draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-based work and client-centred listening to suit different needs. He has supported people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. He also helps those facing grief, parenting strains, relationship and family conflict, career changes, chronic health challenges and compassion fatigue.

Raymond offers sessions in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Raymond aims to work with each person to find practical ways forward and rebuild stronger routines and coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports taking values-guided actions so life becomes more meaningful even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and problems with stress by teaching practical coping skills and new habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raymond will discuss these methods with clients and adapt them to each person's goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and how to pace the work so it fits daily life and needs.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make contact flexible. Video mirrors an in-person conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit people with low bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let clients reflect between sessions or have shorter, frequent touchpoints. These options help therapy fit around work, caregiving and health needs while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional recovery.
