I’m Ryan McFarlane, a qualified, person-centred counsellor in Redruth, Cornwall, helping adults overcome depression, anxiety, grief and family issues, or seeking personal growth and self-improvement.
Sessions are relaxed, supportive, and available throughout the week, with no long-term commitment required. You can meet with me one-to-one at my private therapy space in Redruth (£40 per session) or connect online from wherever you are.
Get in touch on 07969 547 876 or email me to arrange a free 20-minute call so we can see how we might work together.
Whatever you’re going through, I will meet you with compassion, empathy and acceptance. Maybe it’s a constant undercurrent of anxiety, or a low mood that won’t shift. Maybe you’ve been holding yourself together for everyone else, but inside you feel frayed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore.
I provide a space to explore these struggles with curiosity and care, helping you unpack your past experiences and feelings to bring about lasting change. Through thoughtful exploration, we will uncover the underlying beliefs and emotions that contribute to your tension, which may prevent you from fully realising your potential.
Together, at a pace that feels right, we’ll create space for change with a therapeutic approach that respects your individuality and supports your personal goals. Some people come for a few therapy sessions, others for longer-term support. There’s no need for a referral or long-term commitment, and there’s no waiting list.
Counselling starts at £40 per session, and I have reduced rates for individuals on low income or currently out of work. My private therapy space in Redruth is accessible with great transport links and parking nearby. I also offer online and telephone counselling sessions.
If you have any questions about counselling or would like to learn more about ways we could work together, please call or SMS 07969 547 876 or email a message here.

Counselling face-to-face gives you a calm, confidential place away from daily pressures, where you can speak freely, feel heard, and focus entirely on yourself.
Designed for adults over 18 years who are looking talk things through, I offer 50-minute counselling sessions in a private, welcoming space in Redruth, in the heart of Cornwall. You’re never tied in; you can begin with a single, focused counselling session to see how it feels, or work with me over time towards lasting change.
If coming to a therapy room feels daunting or travelling to Redruth isn’t an option, online or telephone counselling sessions offer a flexible and accessible way to get support from your own home. All you need is a private space, a reliable internet connection (for video), and a device you’re comfortable using.
Working together online can be just as effective as meeting in person. Many clients find it helps them build confidence, and some choose to start online before moving to in-person sessions later. Wherever you are in Cornwall, or beyond, you can still have a safe, confidential space to talk and be heard.
Running a business or leading a team comes with constant pressure, and it’s easy to put your well-being last. Many leaders and managers only reach out for support when stress is already overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to get that far.
I offer face-to-face counselling in Redruth for Cornwall-based business owners, managers, and teams, as well as online sessions for organisations outside the county. With flexible appointment times and no waiting lists, support can fit around busy schedules. Investing in your own well-being — or that of your staff — can improve focus, resilience, and overall performance.
My talking therapy sessions are shaped around your individual needs, giving you a confidential, supportive space to speak openly and be truly heard — without pressure, judgment, or expectation.
Sessions are typically 50 minutes and held weekly, either face-to-face in Cornwall or online via a secure video platform. There’s no fixed number of sessions — we work at your pace, checking in regularly to make sure you’re getting what you need.
Some clients come for short-term talking therapy to navigate a specific challenge, while others choose longer-term work to explore deeper patterns and create lasting change. However you approach it, you’re always in control of your process, and I’m here to offer steady, consistent support as you explore what matters most.
Life often asks us to bend, to carry, to endure, until we lose sight of the quiet truth of who we are. Person-centred therapy begins with a simple but profound belief: deep down, you already hold the wisdom and strength to heal.
The shift that happens as August turns to September touches us all. Long before we change our calendars, our bodies sense what’s coming, the evenings shorten, the light softens, and something in us whispers that a cycle is closing.
Common Questions About Counselling
For me, counselling is a space where you can simply be yourself. I listen with care and without judgment, offering a steady presence as you explore your feelings and experiences. Together, we create a space where you can find your own understanding, gently discovering the answers that are already within you.
It’s natural to wonder if it’s the right time. You don’t need a crisis or a “big problem” to seek support. If you feel stuck, uncertain, or simply in need of a safe place to reflect, coming to talk with me can be a step toward clarity and relief. Every feeling you bring is important.
Each session unfolds in its own way, guided by you. You might share what’s weighing on your heart, or we might explore feelings as they surface. I listen deeply, reflecting back what I hear with warmth and understanding, and together we gently untangle what feels heavy, at your pace.
The number of sessions varies for each person. Some people find a few sessions helpful, while others choose ongoing therapy for deeper exploration and support. You are free to decide what works best for you.
Not at all. You share what feels safe and meaningful, one layer at a time. Sometimes the smallest words lead to the deepest insights. I will follow your rhythm, offering patience and presence as you take each step.
There is no rush. Some people feel lighter after a few sessions, while others find value in ongoing conversations. The pace and length are guided by your needs and comfort, not by any fixed schedule.
It’s perfectly natural to feel anxious. Walking into this space can feel vulnerable, and I honor that. Often, just showing up is an act of courage. I will hold that nervousness gently, helping you feel safe and seen.
Yes. What you share with me stays with me, with very few exceptions, such as if someone’s safety is at risk. This is a space for honesty, trust, and openness—a place where you can be entirely yourself.
Change often whispers before it shouts. You may notice small shifts—feeling lighter, more understood, or more in tune with yourself. Every step, however subtle, is a sign that the work we do together is taking root.
The first step can feel like the hardest. You can reach out simply to ask questions or to arrange a first session. Call or text 07969547876 or email me here.
