About Raymond
Raymond Ronan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years' experience. He is based in the United Kingdom and lists help for stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting and related strains.
Before counselling he worked in accounting, corporate banking and senior management. He also went through a serious personal health crisis and recovery. Those life events inform his practical, plainspoken approach to conversations about difficult experiences.
Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, how it affects day-to-day life, and small changes that can make a difference. He says he draws on a mix of approaches to address mood, addictive behaviour, grief and relationship tension. The tone is straightforward and goal-oriented rather than abstract.
Raymond mentions supporting people affected by cancer, caregiving stress, chronic illness and work pressures, and he names a wide range of personal and interpersonal concerns he has worked with. He offers support to people from different countries and conducts sessions in English.
He encourages practical next steps such as clarifying immediate problems, building coping strategies, and planning manageable changes. Booking begins by using the platform's matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Raymond uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward the life they want, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns with partners and family. It can help people understand why they react strongly or pull away, and then practise different ways of connecting and communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raymond will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals and preferences. He treats it as a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as progress becomes clearer.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also means someone can choose less visually demanding options if that helps them focus. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises, homework and practical tools to suit remote sessions and everyday life.
