Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, straightforward support for people facing grief, stress and anxiety. He introduces a gentle, relational style so people feel heard and understood. He works with clients on LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties and life changes.

Ryan uses approaches grounded in attachment work and client-centred practice to build trust and safety. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and reactions.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to what happens between sessions. He has three years of professional experience supporting people through bereavement and separation. That experience includes helping those coping with depression, career uncertainty and low self-esteem.

He also works with people facing eating and body image concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to ADHD. Ryan can help with more specific struggles such as abandonment fears, communication problems, codependency and commitment worries. He also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, dissociation and the effects of ageing and loss.

He approaches each topic with patience and straightforward language. People can expect a collaborative process focused on achievable steps and clearer thinking. The aim is to reduce distress and build stronger coping skills over time.

Ryan welcomes questions at the first session and outlines practical options so clients know what to expect next.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions use this approach to notice patterns in how people connect and respond, which is useful for relationship worries and abandonment fears.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre and values empathy and acceptance. In practice this means sessions where the counsellor listens closely and helps the client find their own solutions, useful for grief, low self-esteem and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Online work with CBT uses simple exercises and practical tasks between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options, try techniques and adjust based on the client’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps people feel more confident about what will help them most.

Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
