About Raymond

Raymond Guddah helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship concerns through a combination of psychodynamic work and practical techniques. He is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and has 15 years' experience in community and residential rehab and mental health settings across the UK.

He trained in the UK and brings psychodynamic and addictions-focused approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy skills. Sessions are interactive and focus on understanding patterns, identifying unhelpful thinking, and setting achievable steps. He draws on years of work with people from different countries to shape how he responds in sessions.

People may expect a clear treatment plan that looks at past experiences alongside current behaviour. Raymond uses motivational interviewing to support changes in behaviour, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. This mix aims to make sessions practical while exploring deeper emotional issues.

He has worked in residential rehabilitation services and community mental health teams, and with international clients from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. That background informs how he supports people with process addictions such as gambling or pornography, sex addiction, substance misuse, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar.

Sessions also address parenting strain, intimacy-related problems, jealousy, grief, seasonal affective disorder and compassion fatigue. Raymond works in English and accepts international clients; his BACP membership is shown as BACP.

How his approaches translate to online work

Raymond combines psychodynamic therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and motivational interviewing. Psychodynamic therapy looks at past relationships and emotional patterns to understand current difficulties, which can help with long-standing relationship and intimacy issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy addresses unhelpful thinking and behaviour with practical exercises and short-term plans, useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing focuses on resolving ambivalence and supporting behaviour change, which is often used for addictions and process-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then suggest ways of working and adapt methods across sessions. This is a collaborative process so the plan can change as needs become clearer.
