About Raymond
Raymond Guddah uses a psychodynamic and addiction-focused approach to help people untangle long-standing patterns. He is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists, often drawing on cognitive behavioural ideas where helpful. Raymond writes short, clear plans with each person and aims for respectful and direct work.
He trained in the United Kingdom and originally comes from Ghana, West Africa. Over 15 years he has worked in community and residential rehab settings and within UK mental health services.
Background and approach
That experience shapes how he responds to addiction, compulsive behaviours and mood concerns. Sessions are interactive and aimed at building self-efficacy. He combines psychodynamic listening with practical steps from cognitive behavioural practice and motivational interviewing.
Clients leave with a plan they can use between meetings. His focus covers stress and anxiety, addictions including process and sex addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and bipolar. He also supports people dealing with relationship issues, jealousy, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and seasonal affective disorder.
Raymond has worked with people across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. He speaks English and offers work from the UK. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Raymond works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods so they fit the person’s situation. The aim is to agree a plan that balances exploration of patterns with practical steps to try between sessions.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins and provide options if visual or audio-only contact is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to keep therapy consistent with a person’s routine and commitments.
