About Raymond

Raymond Ronan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He moved into therapy after a long corporate career and a personal recovery journey that included serious illness and rehabilitation. He describes his work as practical and grounded, aiming to help people change thoughts, feelings and behaviours so life becomes more manageable.

Clients can expect a calm, conversational approach. Raymond draws on different counselling methods to meet individual needs. He offers empathy, honesty and steady support while helping people set realistic goals and try new ways of coping.

Raymond draws on his own life experience, including recovery from cancer and a period of serious mental health crisis, to connect with people facing loss, grief and major life changes. He also has experience addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem and relationship and family tensions.

His background includes work in business and finance before training in counselling, so he is comfortable helping with career and work-related problems as well as broader life transitions. He says he will go on the journey with clients and share things that may help, based on what has worked for him and in practice.

People who prefer a down-to-earth counsellor who combines personal insight with established talking therapies may find his style a good fit. He asks that prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions when convenient.

How Raymond uses talking therapies online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and changing patterns that keep problems going, which often helps with depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with relationship difficulties and issues around trust and connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raymond will work with each person to decide which methods suit their situation and goals, and may blend approaches as needs become clearer. The aim is to try practical steps together and adjust as progress is made.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around busy schedules, remove travel time and make it easier to keep short, regular sessions or follow-up check-ins. Raymond's background in practical problem-solving and recovery suggests a focus on usable tools and clear steps that can be carried into everyday life.
