About me and my therapy practice
Hello, my name is Ryan and I am a highly qualified and experienced counsellor for children and young people under the age of 24. I understand that it can be a big step to seek counselling for yourself or a loved one and I am dedicated to providing a safe, warm and empathic space for you or your loved one to find support.

​

I work with a range of difficulties including, but not limited to;

- self-esteem,

- depression,

- suicidal ideation,

- self-harm,

- anxiety,

- bereavement,

- family relationships,

- friendships,

- school refusal,

- bullying,

- identity,

- anger,

- gender dysphoria,

- sexual identity,

- OCD,

- trauma.

​

My working style is integrative, which means I blend both cognitive and creative therapies to better support each client on their journey. I am qualified to work in psychodynamic, person-centred, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and creative therapies, meaning I can tailor each therapeutic journey to the client's personality and specific needs.

​

I am passionate about supporting young people in crisis and have dedicated my whole career and skills base to doing so.

​

My first session
I understand that face-to-face counselling can be difficult for some people; building trust in the relationship is important. Before starting therapy, I offer a 20-minute initial meeting, via face-to-face, online or telephone call, completely free of charge. Following this initial meeting, should you decide to seek an alternative counsellor, I will support you in finding the right counsellor for you.
