About Ryan
Ryan Lunn is a BACP counsellor who focuses on Narrative approaches to help people tell their stories differently. He works with individuals dealing with grief, loss, stress and anxiety, and LGBTQ concerns. He also supports people facing relationship strain, depression, eating and self-esteem issues, and life changes such as career shifts or separation.
Ryan offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. He encourages people to describe what they are facing in their own words.
Background and approach
That helps him and the client spot recurring patterns and painful moments worth addressing. In sessions he draws on narrative ideas alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. That means listening closely to how relationships and past experiences shape current feelings.
It also means helping people name unhelpful stories and try different, more helpful ways of being. Ryan has three years of practice and holds BACP registration from the United Kingdom. He uses practical conversations and simple reflective exercises rather than technical jargon.
Sessions aim to feel like an honest conversation about what matters most. People can use a mix of talking and gentle exercises to test out new perspectives between meetings. Ryan keeps steps clear and manageable so people can try small changes and see what helps.
He usually works with adults seeking support for the concerns listed on his profile.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How narrative and attachment work in online therapy
Ryan commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they live by and consider alternative ways of describing painful experiences. This approach is useful for issues like grief, identity questions, and repeating relationship patterns. Attachment-based work looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand how they affect emotion and trust; it helps when anxiety or relationship problems keep recurring.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests ways of working that fit those aims. You and the therapist can try different techniques and adjust the plan as you go along, so the method evolves with what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual contact helps the conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
