Portrait of therapist in Sutton – RB Therapy providing in-person and online therapy

Ryan Blake MSc.

Integrative Psychotherapist

Starting therapy can feel uncertain, especially if you’re used to managing things on your own. My aim is to offer a warm, steady space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what’s been difficult — at a pace that feels right for you. I work collaboratively and respectfully, helping you explore patterns, understand yourself more deeply, and move toward lasting change.

I adhere to professional and ethical guidelines regarding confidentiality and data protection.

How Therapy Can Help

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that repeat despite your best efforts, anxious, low in mood, or unsure why things feel harder than they should. Sometimes there’s a clear difficulty; at other times it’s simply a sense that something isn’t quite right.

Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Together we can begin to understand your experiences, the patterns that shape them, and what might help things shift in everyday life.

​

I work in an integrative way, drawing on different therapeutic approaches depending on what will be most helpful for you. My work is influenced by contemporary behavioural and relational therapies, with a strong focus on the therapeutic relationship as a space for understanding, growth, and new experiences.

Therapy with me is collaborative and thoughtful. Alongside reflection and exploration, we may also look at practical ways of responding differently to the challenges you’re facing, helping you build greater confidence, clarity, and self-understanding over time.

  • Identity and Life transitions

  • Self-criticism / Low confidence

  • Disconnected from self 

  • Something feels “off”

  • Depression / emotional heaviness

Some Of The Areas I Often Work With

People come to therapy carrying many different experiences, often feeling alone with difficulties that are more common than they might seem. You don’t need to fit into a specific category to benefit from therapy — the areas below reflect some of the experiences I often support people with.

  • Anxiety, overthinking

  • Low mood / Loss of motivation

  • Feeling overwhelmed 

  • Repeating patterns or habits

Next Step

If you're considering therapy, you’re welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial conversation. This is an opportunity to talk through what’s been going on for you, ask any questions you might have, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.

There’s no pressure to commit — just a chance to take a first step.

I aim to respond within 48 hours.
