Ryan Powell, BACP

Ryan Powell is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines warmth and challenge to help people move toward their goals. He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has three years of professional experience using client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches to tailor support to each individual.

His background includes work within the NHS IAPT service, delivering short-term therapy and mental health support to men in prison, and operating a private practice. That varied experience informs a practical, empathetic style that encourages open discussion of difficult topics while also offering constructive challenge when it will support change. He offers a nonjudgmental space where people can address pressing concerns they may not feel comfortable sharing with those close to them.

Ryan has specialist experience with anxiety and depression and also works with clients on stress, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, HIV/AIDS, infidelity and jealousy, life purpose, men’s issues, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, self-harm, self-love, and sexuality. He aims to provide steady professional support while helping clients build practical strategies and deeper self-understanding.
