I’m Ryan, a qualified counsellor based in Redruth, Cornwall. Alongside exploring the life struggles of anxiety, grief and feeling stuck in Therapy, I’m drawn to the deeper questions that often sit beneath them — of meaning, identity, and what it truly means to be alive. To stand with that uncertainty, and explore what the underlying tension might be asking of you.
here is a particular kind of tiredness that has nothing to do with sleep. It arrives when we have been performing well for too long, holding up versions of ourselves that other people need us to be. Existential counselling offers a quiet, honest space to begin asking what a more genuine life might look like.
Anxiety doesn’t always arrive with an obvious cause. For many people it sits quietly in the background of an otherwise ordinary life, an underlying feeling that never seems to leave. Without a crisis to point to, this kind of experience can create internal judgement. The usual suggestions help for a while. Breathing exercises, apps, medication — these things have their place, and for many they are enough. But they don’t always answer the deeper question of why the feeling keeps
Although my practice is rooted in a person-centred counselling approach, Iam drawn to key ideas within existential therapy, so whatever brings you here, you’ll be met with warmth, patience and genuine curiosity about your experience. Maybe life has begun to feel strangely hollow. It feels functional and busy, yet somehow drained of meaning within. Maybe you have been holding everything together for others while quietly losing your sense of who you are and why any of it matters.
In our work together we’ll slow down and look beneath the surface of those feelings, exploring the deeper patterns, assumptions and ways of relating to yourself that quietly shape how you experience the world, and what might be getting in the way of living more fully.
We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, in a way that honours where you are and what you are reaching toward. Some people come for a handful of sessions, others stay longer — there is no fixed path, and no pressure to know in advance what you need. No referral is required and there is no waiting list.
Sessions start at £40, with reduced rates available for those on a low income or out of work. I see people in my private therapy room in Redruth, which is easy to reach by public transport and has parking close by. Online and telephone sessions are also available.
