About me and my therapy practice
Are you stuck in the same argument with your partner, recovering from an affair, or wondering whether the relationship is actually over? Are you working through jealousy, mismatched desire, or sex problems that won't shift on their own? Or are you doing this work alone, trying to make sense of a pattern that keeps repeating across relationships?
I'm Mark Ryan, a ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Accredited Psychotherapist (MÌÇÐĹÙÍø Accred) and NCPS Accredited Relationship Therapist. I work in person from Kensington Counselling Rooms on Gloucester Road, alongside two other London locations.
I work with three groups of clients. Couples and partners who want to repair, reconnect, or make a considered decision about the future. Individuals working on relationship issues one to one, whether their partner won't attend, the relationship has ended, or the work simply feels more useful alone. And polycules of up to four people navigating the particular challenges of consensual non-monogamy and polyamory.
People come to me for many reasons. Affairs and betrayals, and the long work of recovery from them. Loss of trust, emotional or sexual disconnection, and sex problems that erode closeness over time. Jealousy, whether in a monogamous relationship or a polyamorous one. The slow decision about whether to stay or separate. And for individual clients, attachment patterns that show up across every relationship, the aftermath of a breakup, or questions of identity and desire within a partnership. My role isn't to take sides or decide outcomes. It's to help clients slow down, hear themselves and one another differently, and understand what's actually happening between them. My practice is affirming, sex-positive, and inclusive of all relationship structures and identities.
Practice description
My Kensington clients are often professionals, expats, and international couples balancing high-pressure careers with the work of staying close. Many come at a point where the relationship has been quietly drifting, or where a specific event — an affair, a disclosure, a decision pending — has brought things to a head. Much of our work focuses on understanding the narrative of your relationship: the patterns that keep repeating, the roles each person has learned to play, and the underlying needs that often go unspoken. By making these dynamics visible, without blame or judgement, new ways of relating can begin to emerge. I draw on Imago Relationship Therapy, the Gottman Method, and attachment-based, systemic, and psychodynamic frameworks. I balance emotional insight with practical tools, helping you understand what triggers conflict or distance, communicate more openly, and respond with greater empathy in the moment.
For couples and polycules, I work with communication breakdown and recurring conflict, affairs and betrayals, the rebuilding of trust, intimacy and desire, mismatched needs around sex or relationship structure, life transitions, and considered separation.
For individuals, I work with attachment patterns that show up across relationships, the aftermath of breakups or betrayal, questions of desire, identity, or sexual orientation within a partnership, and the work of deciding whether to stay or leave. I have significant experience with LGBTQ+ clients, ethically non-monogamous and polyamorous partnerships, and clients navigating sexual identity, desire, or kink within their relationship. Sessions invite curiosity rather than blame. I bring structure to conversations that might otherwise feel circular, and help you find clarity about what you actually need. Clients often describe working with me as calm, grounded, and gently challenging.
My first session
Reaching out to a therapist can feel daunting, particularly when what you're carrying feels vulnerable or hard to put into words. Many clients tell me they weren't sure exactly what was wrong, just that something wasn't working. To make that first step as easy as possible, I offer a free 30-minute introductory conversation, in person or online. This is an informal chat, not a full session. We'll talk briefly about what's brought you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and whether I feel like the right fit for you. There's no pressure and no obligation. If you decide to go ahead, we'll arrange a first full session from there. Most clients find a regular weekly slot works best, though I also offer ad-hoc sessions if that suits your circumstances better.
The Kensington practice is at 125 Gloucester Road, two minutes from Gloucester Road tube (Circle, District, and Piccadilly lines), making it straightforward to reach from across central and west London.
You can book your free introductory conversation directly at www.riseandgrowtherapy.co.uk/free-consultation, or send an enquiry through this profile and I'll get back to you within one working day.

My Pimlico clients are often Westminster-area professionals and central London couples whose schedules make midweek evenings the realistic time to do this work.

Much of our work focuses on understanding the narrative of your relationship: the patterns that keep repeating, the roles each person has learned to play, and the underlying needs that often go unspoken.

Practice description
My Angel clients are often Islington and east London professionals, creatives, and couples drawn to a more reflective space within easy reach of King's Cross and the City. Many come at a point where the relationship has been quietly drifting, or where a specific event (an affair, a disclosure, a decision pending) has brought things to a head. Much of our work focuses on understanding the narrative of your relationship: the patterns that keep repeating, the roles each person has learned to play, and the underlying needs that often go unspoken.
