Meet Our Team:

Ryan is a healer, teacher, researcher, and Doctor of Psychotherapy. They are passionate about helping others to better understand themselves and the difficulties they face. Ryan enjoys sharing their expertise in both Psychodynamic and Person-Centered Therapy, and sharing the benefits of these modalities with other therapists. Ryan is also passionate about educating practitioners to work with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and other forms of childhood abuse. In this vein, Ryan serves on Kingdom Abuse Survivor's Project's Board of Trustees, which is a non-profit organization that seeks to offer counselling and other supports to survivors in Fife, Scotland, UK. As a member of the LGBTQI+ community, Ryan advocates for appropriate recognition of the challenges LGBTQI+ folks face, and helps organizations to offer supportive and informed services for those folks. 

Ryan brings experience of management and administration in mental health and addictions to their work at Centred-Self, and aims to provide a supportive and friendly environment to clients seeking services and the associates who work with us. Ryan is also pleased to be involved in offering workshops and trainings to practitioners as a part of the Centred-Self team. In addition to their managerial work at CS, Ryan also works as a psychotherapist at Centred Self. 

My name is Denise and I work as the content marketing coordinator at Centred Self. 

I love eing the podcast producer to Your Therapist is Not Okay. It allows me to tap into my analytical side while staying true to my creative nature. 

I also have a deep appreciation for this work with Jessie and Ryan because we are doing something different in our podcast, allowing clients to ask real questions, and how therapists also face the same struggles - and this isn't a bad thing, but is an actual strength that allows them to be great in their work with clients.

There has never been a better time to create more awareness around mental health. With social media portraying therapists in very real ways, we can also help tackle the negative stigma around mental health and this means that we have the perfect opportunity to build on what has already been done. I think that we give people the push to speak up, ask questions, and get help, or simply to understand what makes therapists tick.

Hi! My name is Una Grace and I am the Project Manager here at centred self. 

Starting as an intern, I quickly learned how this team cares so much, and has taken a small company to a new level - all while staying true to our values. The more time I spent with the team and our therapists, the more I learned how each person plays their key role in guiding clients or enhancing the company. 

Moving onto Marketing got me more involved with setting up workshops and creating a space for Centred Self in social media. I believe our workshops and our passion are what make us unique in the world of psychotherapy -  as a project manager my goal is to bring our vision, values and future ventures to better mental health for all individuals.

 I hope to help reach out to different demographics and use our platform as best we can to help enlighten some of the uncertainties about therapy.
