You've Probably Tried Therapy Before...
It might have even worked for a time. But chances are, the barriers that you overcame are still there. It’s your relationship with those barriers that’s currently preventing permanent improvement.
But you dropped out because…
Presenting problems and feel not sure where to start/overwhelmed. Not getting clear guidance.
the therapy was Too Rigid
Eg. CBT. Tick box exercises. Not individualised enough. More emphasis on technique than mapping out and understanding the problem from a wider perspective. Less emphasis on the therapeutic relationship.
the therapy was Too Inflexible
Cookie-cutter. You take 5 sessions, then you’re told you’re good to live in the world again. Which, of course, feels invalidating. “It must be me, it’s my falult”. But the truth is, the problem is systemic.
or you Didn't feel validated or listened to
Listening to the story and truly understanding the person’s individual journey, how they got to where they are and see the world and others. The patient comes FIRST, not technique.
Invalidadted because told emotions aren’t right or don’t fit. But they are for survival. Emotions and responses helped you srurive, made absolute sense at that time, hardwired from evolution.
This Approach Is Different
Instead of just helping you get better, we go deeper. Our approach to therapy is more extensive. We’ll go through your challenges with a fine-tooth comb, looking at the barriers that prevented you from recovery, then re-exploring those barriers in a non-judgemental, curious way.

Anxiety disorders
Themes around excessive worry (on certain things). Can lead to being highly vigilant of threats, always on edge, fight or flight, certain behaviours to prevent feared-of catastrophes.
Common anxiety disorders include:
- Panic disorder
- Agrophobia
- Social anxiety
- Generalised anxiety disorder
- Health anxiety
- OCD
- Specific phobias (that impact daily life)
*DSM5 ICD11 – research
Depression
Excessive low mood. Loss of drive; motivation. Loss of joy. Excessive self-criticism. Withdrawal from life itself. Low self worth. Ongoing negative automatic thoughts.
Disimias(check spelling). Sense of languishing. Relapsing/remitting (can be caused by major life events, then fully recover; 3 or more can trigger more quickly without major triggers; not always detectable). Difficulty in concentration, change in appetite. Problems with sleep. Insomnia.
PTSd/Cptsd
Experiencing things like (vivid) flashbacks, nightmares. Easily startled. Vigilant and on-edge. Excessive avoidance of matching triggers, including people/places/situations that remind you of the trauma. Experiencing high distress and emotions such as fear, horror, disgust. Re-confirming or shattering beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. Also causing difficulties in personal relationships. Flashbacks/nightmares related to the incident, but feels like its happening NOW. Can’t distinguish from the past/present. Get dysregulated emotions (‘hot’ emotions, hard to control).
BPD/eupd
High levels of emotional dysregulation. Finding it hard to trust in meaningful relationships. Can lead to highly reactive behaviours; potentially destructive to self and others. Extreme low self worth. Lack of sense of self. High risk behaviours (suicidal urges, self-harming behaviours, etc). Substance misuse. Violence. Reckless driving.
Does This Sound Like You?
If you constantly feel XXX, say YYY to yourself, or people tell you ZZZ, then you might be exactly the type of person I work with.
This section describes that person in more detail, so that they resonate with it and feel compelled to take action.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Price: £XX/hour
Evidence-based treatment that I’d be using to treat both anxiety sidorders and depression. It’s not the situation per se but the link between the situations, our interpration, and our responses/actions/behaviours. The idea is collaboration to investigate what’s keeping these problems going by understanding the component parts.
Typically for anxiety/depression.
Trauma-focused CBT for PTSD/CPTSD.
Dialectical Behavioural therapy (DBT)

Usd uesually when people are either recorvered or recovering from an episode as a way to prevent relapse further. Combines both mindfulness-based practices and Cognitive therapy skills.

The Proof Is In The Pudding
Hear from people just like you that I’ve helped in the past, so that you know this is real.
Whilst working with Ryan I felt more comfortable than I've ever felt to expose my past, my thoughts and my struggles. I was very good at hiding these.
Ryan has been very understanding, empathetic and to be honest at times my only support. I learnt very quickly I could trust him with no judgement or shame.
I have been working with Ryan for 2 years now and my life has changed dramatically, I have left an 11 year abusive relationship, learnt to be compassionate to myself and have self respect.
My PTSD symptoms are easing, my eating disorder is managed. I actually stand up for myself now and I can see my past and patterns in a very different light that I am able to manage so much better. I am a completely different person now to who I was.
We've looked at many different techniques to help various situations or trauma and ones that haven't worked so well Ryan knew an alternative.
I honestly couldn't thank Ryan enough and wouldn't recommend anyone else. He's helped change and shape mine and my childrens lives.
How It Works
When you’re ready to take the first step towards lasting change, here’s the process we’ll follow.
1 – get back to them in a timely manner. Aim to get back to them ASAP, that day or the next day. Feel seen immediately and affirmed. Trigger email that provides more information and confirmation.
2 – email back pernsally – apperciate you reaching out, validating, re-validating, heard from day 1. Helping them feel confident they’re feeling supported straight away, being a good match, support new ways of feeling and new strategies.
3 – Try and book in a phone conversation ASAP or within that week (a few days), depending on their availability
4- Have the phone call. Check in, say hi, have they got a private space that they can speak in confidence. Understanding from our side. Summarise what’s put in the email (show. understanding). Anything else that’s useful to know, reasonable adjustments, so forth. Have they got any specific questions about the therapy process and how that might work. CREATE FAQ section – new on website and in automated email.
5 – Transition to the first session. Look at availability and schedule the sesion. Send the therapy contract for confidentiality, any risk, duty of care, etc. ANy signiifcant risks. Therapy rates. Non-attendance and cancellation policy. Send a questionaire to complete to bring to the first sessions or email before the first session, to gather a baseline of their symptoms. Depression and anxiety questionaires / PTSD depending on what was talked about.
6 – One paid assessment session, can decide whether if they feel comfortable with me as a therapist, then follow with a recommendation for how many sessions.
- Do assessment together, can work together, makes snese for bot, contract for 4 sessions (pay one at a time).
- In treatment, briefly review regularly every 4 sessions or so .
They decide when they’re happy to end.
First, we’ll start with a free 15-minute consultation call, usually a phone consult. Simply get in touch using the form on this site and we’ll schedule a time.
After our call, if we both feel like we’re a good fit, we’ll begin our work together. Typically this is through weekly 1-hour sessions.
Then, after working together for some time, you’ll start to notice real, lasting change. Most clients see significant progress after 12 weeks.
