Raymond Ronan

Raymond Ronan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He moved into therapy after a long career in finance and after overcoming serious personal health challenges. Raymond draws on his own recovery journey to offer practical help to people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

He keeps sessions relaxed and straightforward. He listens, asks clear questions, and helps people work out realistic next steps. He encourages clients to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to build new habits that better match their goals.

Raymond has worked with many common life difficulties including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief. He also supports people facing career problems, relationship and family tensions, low self-esteem and long-term health challenges. He mentions experience with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and body image concerns.

His approach combines practical therapies with a person-centred stance. He uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-focused work. In sessions he offers empathy, honesty and steady support while helping people try different strategies.

Raymond accepts clients from the UK and internationally. He asks people to begin by using the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to availability. He works collaboratively and focuses on helping people move toward clearer, more manageable day-to-day choices.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then focus on small steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tries practical experiments to reduce distress. It is often chosen for stress, anxiety and unhelpful habits.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and patterns of relating. This can help with trust, abandonment worries and difficulties in connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raymond will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He aims to tailor sessions so people can try techniques that suit their pace and circumstances.

If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats before booking as the profile does not list particular delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, and to use practical exercises at home between appointments.
