Ryan has been immensely helpful to me. During a very hard time in my life Ryan gave me the tools for self-reflection that I needed. He has helped me face some uncomfortable truths, and challenged me, but this has been my own process, an aspect that I greatly appreciate. Today my mental health is much better.

My approach is committed to providing a confidential, non-judgemental space to help individuals process and understand the emotional and psychological difficulties that may be causing them distress.
I am a counselling psychologist working integratively using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness.
I specialise in addiction, anxiety, depression and other mood problems, and personality disorders. I am also experienced in working with appearance issues, anger, grief, obsessions and compulsions, self-harm, and stress. My practice is trauma-informed.
I am registered with The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I am also a British Psychological Society (BPS) member and the Division of Counselling Psychology (DoCP).
I adhere to the ethical guidelines of the BPS and HCPC.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

great Pro. very calm and prepared
Session two already learning things - that's what I wanted
Though only having a few meeting with Ryan, his openness and willingness to help me through my grieving process has been a breath of fresh air. He is patient, kind, understanding, and acknowledges my feelings, even when I sometimes don't understand what I myself am feeling. I look forward to our sessions every week.
Ryan is clearly a very experienced therapist and has some great tools at his disposal for dealing with my specific issue of depression. However, my experience of his service felt very rushed and he did not dedicate enough time to my needs, both in video sessions and via the in-app messaging. It was also very hard to find any available times for sessions with him, and I felt like no care or concern was given to my individual needs and issues.
Ryan is a good and sensitive listener and clinician. Goals are planned and reviewed, but needs and talk are fully acknowledged by Ryan. I am very happy with therapy with him so far, even at tbis early stage.
