About me and my practice
Hello, my name is Ryan, I am a qualified counsellor, offering face-to-face, online, and telephone counselling.
I work with both adults and children across a wide range of issues. My two specialist areas are bereavement and children and young people.
In my private practice the majority of my clients come to me for bereavement counselling.
Every bereavement is different and I mould my approach to what my clients are going through. I help them explore those difficult thoughts; they may feel unable to share with others. Talking about feelings can feel overwhelming. When you do not know how or where to start. This can lead to important thoughts or feelings being hidden or buried. "It's not fine, and you don't have to be ok". I provide a safe empowering non-judgemental space for my clients.
Experience
I completed my bereavement counselling training with Cruse Bereavement Care. I then went onto to volunteer for Cruse for 5 years. I currently work for a Suicide charity delivering counselling to people that have been bereaved by suicide.
I co-run a monthly baby loss support group for parents that have been bereaved miscarriage or baby loss.
I provide counselling through another organisation for children and young adults aged 11-25 years old. The main presenting issues faced by these clients are anxiety, self-harm and depression.

Initial Consultation
I offer a free 15-minute phone call to potential clients, for us to get to know a bit about each other. This is also an opportunity for you to decide if I am the right counsellor for you.
During our first session I like to carry out an assessment, this is so you can give me an overview of what's going on for you. I will also gather some necessary information. This will help me understand your situation and hear things from your perspective. Which also gives us the opportunity to start to build a therapeutic relationship together.
