About Raymond
Raymond Guddah is a counsellor and psychodynamic and addictions therapist with 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He is a British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) member. Raymond draws on practical methods to help people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life changes, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety and addictive behaviours.
He describes his approach as interactive and respectful. Sessions focus on building understanding, naming patterns and finding small, steady steps toward change. He works with issues around relationships, intimacy and jealousy, as well as parenting and family concerns. He also helps people coping with ADHD, bipolar moods, anger and compassion fatigue.
Raymond trained in psychodynamic therapy and has a background in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused work. Much of his experience comes from community and residential rehab settings and mental health services in the UK. He has worked with people from Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
In sessions he aims to combine sensitivity with practical planning. That can mean talking through difficult feelings, learning how thoughts and behaviours link, or making a step-by-step plan to manage cravings or low mood. He supports parents who want clearer routines and less conflict, and people looking to rebuild relationships with themselves and others.
If someone is ready to make a change, Raymond asks them to consider what a first small step might look like. He uses collaborative planning so goals are realistic and fit the person’s life.
How Raymond’s approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand closeness and trust, and can be useful for issues with intimacy, jealousy and relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful behaviour. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to help people find motivation to change, especially around addictions or difficult habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Raymond will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits day-to-day life and what someone finds most helpful.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter or shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online meetings to continue the same kinds of conversations and practical exercises they would cover in person, while tailoring pace and tasks to the client’s situation.
