"I first met Ryan in 2010, when he joined the Royal Navy after qualifying as a Community Mental Health Nurse. He impressed from the outset with his diligence, resourcefulness, initiative, and his dedication to the well-being of his patients and the operational effectiveness of the Royal Navy. In the time that I have known him, I have seen him grow and mature into a confident Senior Rate, who can be relied upon to lead from the front and be true to his word and diligent in his duties. He assisted me in complicated service development tasks, particularly refining and enhancing the way we manage data to inform our service evaluation. However, it is in the clinical area that he really shined. He has a natural ability to connect with patients, coupled with clinical curiosity and acumen. He underwent specialist training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, leading to him becoming an accredited CBT therapist. In the patient’s that we work with jointly, I could see the quality and efficacy of his work, and to a person his patients spoke highly of him. I can give no greater endorsement than to state that I would recommend him to one of my family members without hesitation if the needed treatment. It was a sad loss for the Royal Navy Mental Health Services when he left for positive reasons, and I wish him all the best in this new phase of his career."

"Ryan immediately put me at ease and his communication was excellent throughout my sessions.
While initially I was skeptical about entering therapy I would now recommend it to anyone and would recommend Ryan wholeheartedly.
Thank you Ryan, I am in a far better place and that is largely down to you."

"Ryan has been instrumental in supporting me to build out tools to cope with my anxiety. Each week was structured, but on days where it felt too much Ryan was very understanding and agile in his approach. From start to finish there was a clear structure to our sessions building up coping mechanisms following my sessions too which was so helpful.
I immediately felt at ease and never judged by Ryan and he was flexible with coming to an agreement each week on which times suited best to have our sessions."

"Ryan helped me overcome a significant period of anxiety in my life following a job loss and a the arrival of a new baby all happening at the same time. Ryan was integral to helping me to equip myself with techniques and a mindset to move forward in a positive way, I now feel in a better and stronger place than I've been in years."

"I have personally worked with Ryan for 5 years and in this time, he has shown a very caring and compassionate side always taking a holistic approach to his delivery of therapy.
He is a very competent and diligent therapist, who certainly delivers to a high standard.
He is empathetic, dynamic, and easy to speak with and helps put clients at ease no matter the situation."

“ I had EMDR Therapy with Ryan. As someone who was never open to the idea of therapy before, I am so happy I went through it with Ryan. He explained everything in great detail right from the beginning and throughout. He is professional, understanding and remained non-judgemental throughout my sessions. I would recommend Endurance Therapy Services and Ryan to anyone thinking about taking the leap to therapy.”

"One thing’s for sure. Ryan is going to get to the bottom of whatever it is that’s troubling you. Pretty quickly, we built up a good rapport over a few sessions and then we were off! His non-judgemental but curious and energetic approach is gentle in style and strong in substance, well structured and reassuring. I would highly recommend putting your trust in Ryan. I did and he helped me tremendously, for which I am extremely grateful. "
