About Ryan
Ryan Powell is a counsellor who brings three years of clinical experience to his work. He trained to meet people where they are and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space. Ryan has provided support in NHS IAPT services and has worked with men in prison on low mood, anxiety and depression.
He offers short-term and ongoing therapy from a independent practice setting. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change.
Background and approach
Ryan balances empathy with gentle challenge to help people move forward. His practice commonly addresses anxiety and depression alongside addictions and relationship concerns. He also works with issues related to sexuality and gender, including gender dysphoria and LGBT matters.
Other areas he sees include self-esteem, anger, eating issues and coping with life changes. Ryan draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build rapport and let clients lead the pace of work. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas help explore how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and Ryan works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Therapy is delivered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
He works within a subscription-based session model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Ryan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression and coping with cravings or compulsive habits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ryan will work with each person to decide which ideas to try first and adjust methods as goals evolve. The work is guided by the client's needs, pace and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video lets people see facial cues in longer sessions, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat suits shorter check-ins or times when typing feels better. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity even when travel or schedules change.
