About Raymond

Raymond Ronan helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and relationship and family concerns using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' professional experience. Raymond is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Raymond drew on a varied earlier career in accountancy, banking and senior management before training in counselling. He also describes a personal recovery from serious illness and a period of hospital care, which he says shaped his interest in mental health and how he supports others. These life events inform how he talks with people about loss, grief, serious illness and major life change.

His practical focus is on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. He works in straightforward terms, using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to look at thinking patterns and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to identify values and actions. He also uses client-centred principles to listen and reflect what a person says.

Raymond lists a broad range of concerns he has worked with, including depression, substance misuse, parenting strain and career difficulties. He mentions experience supporting people through cancer, chronic illness, caregiver stress and relationship communication problems. These areas are described as topics he has helped people talk through.

Sessions are presented as collaborative conversations aimed at finding practical ways forward. He says he shares learning from his own recovery and professional background when it may help.

How Raymond uses therapy approaches in remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value‑based steps despite difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful habits, often useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how earlier relationships affect current patterns and can help with attachment issues, relationship difficulties and trust concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Raymond will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He aims to explain options clearly and adapt sessions so the work feels practical and relevant to everyday life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel, and can reduce travel time. Different ways of meeting can allow for shorter check‑ins, quieter conversations, or sessions without video if that suits a person’s routine. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly use these practical arrangements to help people keep therapy going alongside daily responsibilities.
