About Raymond

Raymond Guddah uses psychodynamic and addiction-focused approaches to help people navigate difficult life moments. He brings 15 years of hands-on experience in community and residential rehab settings and in mental health services across the United Kingdom. Raymond is a BACP member, and he has worked with clients from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.

He combines psychodynamic thinking with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. That means he pays attention to patterns that repeat in your life while also trying small, doable changes between sessions.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. Sessions are collaborative and interactive. Raymond aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

He focuses on building confidence so people can take clearer steps toward their goals. Common areas Raymond addresses include stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, low self-esteem, anger and parenting concerns.

Additional focus areas include jealousy, process addictions such as gambling and pornography, seasonal affective disorder and sex addiction. Work with him typically begins by clarifying what you want to change and shaping a simple plan. Raymond offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, and he can work with international clients.

Online support

Using attachment and practical therapies online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and day-to-day reactions. It can help people understand patterns in intimacy, jealousy and relationship stress and find different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour with clear steps and exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a short, focused way to build a person’s own motivation to change when they feel unsure or stuck.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they shape a plan that might combine talking about past patterns with practical CBT tasks and motivational conversations to keep progress moving.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video works well for deeper conversations and face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility to attend from different places and to choose what feels most manageable.
