About Raymond
Raymond Guddah is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He has 15 years of experience working in UK community and residential rehab settings and in mental health services. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting and anger.
He trained in psychodynamic therapy and addictions work and also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches. Raymond has worked with people across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, so he is used to different cultural backgrounds and life situations. Sessions are practical and interactive, with a focus on promoting self-efficacy and making concrete changes.
In the room he aims to help people notice patterns that keep causing the same problems. He talks through thinking habits, feelings and past experiences that affect current relationships and behaviour. He also supports people dealing with specific issues such as process addictions and sexual addiction, seasonal mood shifts and ADHD-related difficulties.
His method often includes short-term goal work alongside deeper exploration of past patterns. He uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find reasons to change, and solution-focused steps to plan small, manageable actions. That mix can suit someone who wants both practical tools and space to look at longer-standing patterns.
Raymond asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and services use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Raymond commonly blends psychodynamic therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing. Psychodynamic work looks at past patterns and how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help when anger or relationship patterns repeat. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on the thoughts and behaviours that feed stress, anxiety and anger, offering practical steps to change those reactions. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck, helping them clarify reasons to change and build commitment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Raymond works collaboratively to identify what fits a person’s needs and goals, adjusting methods as sessions progress. He aims to balance deeper exploration with action steps so people can both understand and alter unhelpful patterns.
