Dear Concerned,
First and foremost, thank you so much for your very valuable time in taking a few moments to look at my profile/bio page.
I am fully qualified and credited with the BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy), and I have a BA Honours Degree in Counselling; based and living in the UK; with over seven years of experience as a professional therapist and coach; after a previous life as a qualified accountant in the aerospace industry, senior management/director roles in financial services, a corporate banker; set-up/ran successful sole trader / limited companies; then going on to have a mental breakdown (admitted myself to a psychiatric hospital), a broken man; losing almost everything including my life; then my rehabilitation/recovery and life-rebuild journey began.
A survivor of liver cancer after having had a liver resection operation now cancer-free, during which time my brother passed of the same horrible disease; and here I am in real-time, in a fantastic headspace; in a position to help you with your problems, issues, concerns, and anything else from my own life journey that I can help you with by going on a journey "together"; getting you into a much better place with your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and future aspirations.
Rest assured, I am only too happy to share them with you which include the many ups and downs in my life and professional work career; and the many mistakes made which I can try and help/advise you not to make the same; but also the many positives from my previous successes in life, business and different work-settings which I can also pass on, especially with how I have managed to turn my life around from a place of total darkness and despair to now, in real-time again; being healthy, happy, focused, proactive, in a safe headspace and so full of positive energy to mention just a few.
I work with people from around the world; and will do everything I can through my total devotion, commitment, and dedication to pass this on to you my very valued and respected client as you are the person who is my Number One priority.
I am here for you to help and talk things through with the ultimate goal of getting you into this better place with your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and future aspirations.
I have experience in helping with -
Substance Misuse; Addictions; Depression; Stress & Anxiety; Trauma; Abuse; Motivation Issues; Self-Esteem; Loss and Grief; Relationships; Family Conflicts including Child Custody Battles; Confidence Issues; Cancer (my journey from a liver resection operation to clear of cancer); Safeguarding & Self-Care; Mindfulness & Focusing Therapy; Work and/or Employment Problems which include Sole Traders/Partnerships/Limited Companies in many different work sectors.
Education Establishments — School/College/University Issues.
I will work with you to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment and always in a safe space. In turn, I always offer the core conditions of empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard in all my therapy sessions.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am so proud of you for getting started. More importantly, you are the one who should be mostly proud of taking this first step. It was the same for me when I first came into therapy; that fear and uncertainty. Now I look back and say it was the best and bravest thing I ever did was to ask for help. When we do reach out we can start facing the many challenges and uncertainties that life throws at us in a much better place.
My approach to therapy is very relaxed and you have nothing to fear.
Anything be it big or small please bring it to our sessions as this again is your space to talk these things through and whatever the problems are we will always try and find the best solutions for them.
In turn, and hopefully, I look forward to working with you and being by your side on our journey together helping you with my ‘Passion Statement’, which is -
“to help with your problems, issues, and concerns through my total commitment, devotion, and dedication; helping you go on to have a much better life”.
Again, thank you so much for your time today.
Kind regards,
Ray,
Raymond M. Ronan MBACP; BA(Hons) Degree in Counselling.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
I felt like Raymond was the perfect fit for my situation. Great listener but also good at explaining things and helping me see what's happening in different, more constructive ways.
Raymond is compassionate about what your going through weather or not you feel the issue is worth counseling. There is no judgement.
Raymond helped me a lot to get to the bottom of what was making me anxious.
Ray is a great therapist with lots of tools and theories to help you overcome any problems you may be dealing with.
Ray is very empathetic and pragmatic. He helped me a lot
Great therapist, I’ve been very lucky to be connected to Raymond.
Ray has been such a great help to me providing me with support and tools to help me navigate challenging situations.
Choose Ray if you want someone that feels like they're reaching through the screen and shaking you back into life. To say he is a motivational person would be putting it mildly. Ray excels at walking you through the steps and process in a calm, straightforward manner and will leave you feeling ready to take life by the horns once again. He listens, he's empathetic and above all he's someone that's genuinely been through it all themselves. I'm sure with his help you'll get back on the right track. Cheers Ray
Raymond is an awesome therapist. Been working with them for 10 months now and he’s really helped me turn my life around and given great advice. Lots of reading and references. Highly recommend him and the service to anyone starting this kind of journey.
Ray is great and the progress we are making at improving my life has literally saved my life
He has helped me get out of feeling stuck in life and taught me new life skills to grow as person. I’m getting my confidence, ambition and patience back. I feel like a whole new person.
Ray has been a great therapist, in just two weeks of therapy I am starting to feel much better in myself. He has identified a way to improve communication that helps me in my relationships and seems to understand what I need quite well.
Raymond identified my problem and help me overcome it within our first session. He has been kind and understanding. He has helped me form a positive outlook towards my life and how to streamline all the messy parts of it.
After having a big struggle with my mental health this year and letting anxiety and depression control my life, Ray has been able to help me foster a more positive attitude and self belief. He's a great listener with a tremendous positive energy that he brings to every one of our sessions, in which I feel totally comfortable in expressing myself and how I am feeling. Ray is able to perfectly tailor sessions to my needs and provides plenty of resources whether it be worksheets or mental health management techniques and theories. Ray is a brilliant therapist and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is having a hard time with their mental health!
Ray is a good listener - with a lot of experience in life challenges!
Ray has caught onto my issues from day 1 - and has continued to support my complex mental path. Each session - he has remembered well what was discussed before and offers advice in the context of my problems.
A down to earth really genuine helpful and knowledgeable guy, his experience and expertise have helped me massively.
I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ray who truly made a difference in my life. From our very first session, I could tell he was compassionate, empathetic, and highly skilled at what he does. Ray created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to explore my thoughts and feelings, and provided me with the tools and strategies I needed to overcome my challenges. What I appreciated most about Ray was his ability to listen deeply and really understand where I was coming from. Ray never made me feel like my problems were trivial or insignificant and always treated me with the utmost respect and kindness. Throughout our time together, I felt supported, validated, and empowered to make positive changes in my life.
Ray was an empathic therapist who really put me first. His care and concern, coupled with his expertise, helped me to find my way. I am better off for having had him and am glad I did!
Engaged, empathetic and a good listener.
Ray was great, helping me with my self confidence. He had some excellent strategies and taught me some interesting tools that have helped. I highly recommend working with Ray.
