Mark Ryan

I currently work with clients in person, Monday to Friday, afternoons and evenings.

I’m an integrative psychotherapist and Accredited Relationship Therapist with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I work exclusively in person with couples and people in diverse relationship structures across London. My practice centres on helping partners explore what’s right for them—whether that means deepening connection, improving communication, or navigating change and separation with compassion and honesty.

I believe therapy is most effective when it offers both structure and space: structure to stay focused on what matters, and space to slow down, hear one another, and make sense of the patterns that have developed over time. My work draws on Imago Relationship Therapy, Gottman Method, Systemic, Attachment-Based, and Psychodynamic approaches, allowing me to tailor each session to the needs and goals of the relationship.

I pay close attention to the unique narrative of each partnership—how past experiences, family histories, and unspoken roles influence the present dynamic. Together we work to bring these patterns into awareness so that new ways of relating can emerge.

My role is not to take sides or decide outcomes, but to support both partners to speak honestly, listen differently, and make conscious choices about the future. Therapy may lead to repair and renewed intimacy, or it may bring clarity that separation is the healthiest path. Either way, the process offers understanding, growth, and the possibility of change.

Clients often describe the experience of therapy with me as calm, grounded, and gently challenging. The work is collaborative and reflective — a space where both partners can slow down, speak honestly, and begin to see their relationship from new perspectives.

Much of our focus is on understanding the narrative of your relationship: the story you’ve built together, the patterns that repeat, and the roles each person has learned to play — often without realising it. By exploring how those roles were shaped by past experiences and unspoken needs, we can begin to uncover what’s driving conflict or distance in the present.

I use an integrative, relational approach informed by Imago, Gottman, systemic, attachment-based, and psychodynamic models. This means our work balances emotional insight with practical tools — helping you recognise triggers, communicate more openly, and respond with empathy rather than reactivity.

Sessions invite curiosity rather than blame. You can expect me to ask thoughtful questions, hold both perspectives with care, and bring gentle structure to conversations that might otherwise feel overwhelming or circular. My role is to help you stay connected enough to talk about difficult things honestly, and to find clarity about what you each need — whether that leads to rebuilding connection, redefining the relationship, or separating with compassion.

Therapy in this space is less about fixing and more about understanding: making sense of what’s happening between you, and creating the conditions for change, closeness, or resolution to emerge naturally.

It can be daunting reaching out to a therapist for the first time, but it needn't be stressful. My goal is to make you feel at ease and supported.

Our first session will be 30 mins so we can have a brief chat about what you need and how I can best support you. The first chat is free, either on the phone, or online, and then we can agree on the next steps.

We'll chat a little bit about you and your current situation, as well as your expectations of our work together.

We won't dig into any topics too deeply in our first chat, it's more about making sure I'm a good fit to support you, and that you're comfortable to go ahead to a full session.

I work in line with the Â鶹ԭ´´, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, guidelines for good practice in Psychotherapy and Counselling.
