Yes, nothing that is spoken about is discussed outside of the session. I never discuss the real lives of clients even to other therapists. The case studies have also had detials changed to protect clients. In addition all notes for the sessions are taken on paper and can be destroyed at any time at the clients request. 

The initial 15 minute consultation is free. If the consulation goes well we will then book a session for a nearby date. 

After which my fees are 400 Qatari Riyals per hour.  I also offer a package of 4 hours for 1,500 Qatari Riyals 

To help offset costs I also set homework at the end of session and give the clients several items to work on throughout the week, so they are making constant progress on their journey. 

I also take most forms of insurance and can provide invoices and receipts as necessary. Please email me if you would like any further details here. 

I offer mental health services that use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, BrainWork Recursion Therapy (BWRT), breathwork, diet and exercise to improve the client’s mental health. More details about each service can be found by clicking on the tabs at the top. 

I hold an MSc in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and am accredited in seven therapeutic methodologies. These include a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, four different accreditations in BWRT therapy including the highest level of clinical practice, a Diploma in Neuroscience and a Licensed NPEHT (Neurophysical Enhancement) Practitioner qualification.

Full details of all qualifications and memberships can be found on the About page. All documents are available upon request.

My first goal is to create rapport with the client. If there isn’t sufficient trust between myself and the client progress will be slow. When I feel the client trusts me sufficiently we look at what issues they want to work on. We break the issues down and outline exactly why they are problems. We then create a solution both together (observing the pros and cons) and then enact upon it. 

It is paramount that an environment is created where the client is learning, comfortable and feels they can speak without judgement. I also try to be as genuine as possible and encourage my clients to be likewise. 

The amount of sessions undertaken varies depending on the subject matter and the issues addressed. For phobia it is only necessary to conduct two sessions and sometimes just a single session is required. For more chronic conditions or for change in mindset a usual amount is between three and eight sessions. The amount of sessions is completely up to the client and at the end of the first session I will outline a treatment plan as well as how many sessions I believe the client will need. 

The therapeutic alliance between counsellor and client requires a trusting relationship to have success. At no point will I make you do anything you don’t want to do. The vast majority of the time together spent will be pleasant and any difficult subject matters will be handled in a professional and kind manner.

In the event it is necessary to broach a subject matter that is sensitive I will do so with care and only with your permission. If at any point you would like to stop and conclude the session you are welcome to do so. If you have any questions feel free to send me an email at info@ryanmcconnell.co.uk

Yes. I have previously delivered talks and presentations for the Rumaillah Group, Al Ahmadia Medical Center, DeAura Ltd, Vercel and The Business Network Doha among others. I am available for corporate talks, workplace wellness workshops and bespoke presentations on a range of psychological topics. If you would like to discuss a talk or workshop for your organisation please get in touch at info@ryanmcconnell.co.uk

After the first session I will have a rough understanding of how long each issue will take to address and we will try and tackle them one at a time in the most sensible order. We will also outline a series of well defined goals. When we have achieved these goals to your satisfaction we are done. In the event we try a methodology that doesn’t work we will try different methodologies until we find something that works for the client. Everyone responds to counselling differently and whatever aspects of the therapy the client responds better to is the predominant approach we will take.

That’s a difficult question to answer. Ultimately I will be looking to get you in a frame of mind that it doesn’t feel like work but rather a necessity which needs to be conducted for the client to be a better version of themselves. I set work after each session but it is all completely optional.

In most cases clients find getting the courage to come seek help the hardest part of the experience and the work we do to be a very satisfying part of the experience. If you would like some further information or would like a consultation feel free to send me an email at info@ryanmcconnell.co.uk

Yes, I offer a 10-15 minute Zoom consultation completely free of charge. Email me and I will send you some available times.

Please note that if the agreed consultation time is missed without prior notice, a rescheduling fee of 200 Riyals will be required before booking a new time. This is simply to ensure that both parties are able to make the most of the time available.

My office is located in the Rumaillah Group Building on Salwa Rd. Please email me at info@ryanmcconnell.co.uk if you require further details.
