About Raymond Ronan
Raymond Ronan is a United Kingdom based counsellor and coach with a BA Honours Degree in Counselling and accreditation from the BACP - the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy. He brings more than seven years of professional therapeutic experience following a varied career in accounting, financial services and corporate management. That earlier life in senior roles and as a small business owner informs his practical, grounded approach to helping clients navigate work, relationships and life transitions.
His personal journey through a severe mental health crisis and a period of inpatient psychiatric care, followed by recovery and rehabilitation, contributes to a lived understanding of trauma, loss and rebuilding. Raymond is also a survivor of liver cancer after a resection operation and has experienced the bereavement of a close family member to the same illness. Those experiences shape his empathy and commitment to supporting people facing grief, health challenges and major life changes.
Raymond works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting, grief, anger, career difficulties and compassion fatigue. He uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, tailoring interventions to each person. He offers an open, nonjudgmental space and strives to help clients move toward clearer thinking, healthier behaviours and renewed purpose, drawing on both professional training and personal experience.
He has experience supporting people internationally and aims to bring dedication and practical insight to each therapeutic relationship while prioritising the client’s goals and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Raymond integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into his practice. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections and emotional responses - helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues and trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Raymond works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques from different models as sessions progress so that therapy remains practical and client-centred.
Online therapy with Raymond is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits or international clients. These options allow ongoing support from a licensed professional without the need to travel, making it easier to maintain consistency in care and to access help when it is most needed.
