About Raymond
Raymond Ronan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BA Honours degree in Counselling. He draws on a personal recovery journey and varied career history to connect with people facing hard moments.
Before training as a counsellor, Raymond worked in accounting, banking and senior management roles. He also rebuilt his life after a severe mental health crisis and a bout of liver cancer.
Background and approach
Those experiences shape how he listens and what he offers in sessions. He speaks from lived experience as well as professional practice. Raymond uses straightforward, calm conversations to help people make changes in their thinking and behaviour.
He mixes practical strategies with empathic listening so people can tackle stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. He also supports issues such as trauma, grief, low self-esteem, anger and career strain. He works with concerns around relationships, family conflict, parenting strain and communication problems, and he helps people manage chronic illness, caregiving stress and body image worries.
Raymond also takes a nonjudgemental approach to sexuality and kink related topics when these come up. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps that move people toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Raymond describes his style as relaxed and direct, offering empathy, honesty and respect.
He encourages people to bring whatever worries them and to work at a pace that feels right. People can expect a collaborative process that blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, attachment-focused thinking and practical cognitive techniques. Raymond hopes to turn past difficulties into useful learning to help people rebuild their lives.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It can be useful for people who struggle with trust, communication or repeated relationship difficulties.
Raymond will work with clients to find the best approach. He discusses goals and preferences and adapts methods so therapy fits the person. Finding the right fit is part of the process and happens collaboratively over the first sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Many people find the variety lets them try different ways of working and keep progress moving even when life is busy.
