Mark Ryan Integrative Psychotherapist Highbury London N5Mark Ryan:

Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP, NCPS)


As a qualified and experienced integrative psychotherapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges and build more fulfilling relationships. With a BA (Hons) in Integrative Psychotherapy and membership in the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), I bring a compassionate, evidence-based approach to mental health.

My work is rooted in the belief that therapy should be a safe and collaborative space, where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours without judgment.

In my practice, I work with a diverse range of clients, each facing unique challenges. However, I have a particular passion for working with couples who are experiencing difficulties in their relationships.

Whether it’s navigating communication breakdowns, managing conflict, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or deepening emotional intimacy, I help partners foster stronger, more resilient connections.

Using an integrative approach, I draw from various therapeutic modalities, including emotionally focused therapy (EFT), Imago therapy, and psychodynamic principles, to tailor sessions to each couple’s specific needs.

Beyond couples therapy, I also work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others.

My role is to help them uncover patterns that may be holding them back, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and move toward a greater sense of self-awareness and emotional well-being.

I recognise that seeking therapy can feel daunting, especially for those who have never been in a therapeutic setting before. That’s why I strive to create an environment that is warm, empathetic, and free of judgment. My approach is client-focused, meaning I work at your pace, ensuring you feel heard and supported every step of the way.

I am also passionate about making therapy accessible and engaging outside of traditional sessions. I create therapy-related video content for my website and social media, providing valuable insights and practical tools to support mental well-being. Whether it’s discussing relationship dynamics, stress management techniques, or emotional resilience, my goal is to extend the benefits of therapy to a wider audience.

I understand that choosing the right therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I encourage anyone considering therapy to reach out for an initial conversation. Whether you are looking to strengthen your relationship, work through personal struggles, or simply gain a better understanding of yourself, I am here to support you on your journey.

If you’d like to learn more about my work or book a session, feel free to get in touch. I look forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.

But how do you know what type of therapy is right for you? Taking the first steps in finding the right therapist can be the biggest hurdle for newcomers, so we have made it easy.
