What People Say About the Practice
Personal accounts from couples who have experienced therapy here, alongside the perspective of a professional colleague.
My wife and I first met Dr Ryden in 2023 while we were living separately, pending a more formal separation and ultimately divorce.
Dr Ryden was extremely patient, balanced and professionalin working with us over a period of several months to agree to slow things down and embark upon a trial separation for six months.
Working weekly as a couple with Dr Ryden we gradually reconciled our differences with his help and gentle guidance, which I am beside myself with joy and gratitude to say resulted in us actually renewing our wedding vows in April 2024.
Whilst every situation, person and relationship is unique, I truly believe that Dr Ryden’s approach to couples counselling is exceptionally effective whilst remaining unequivocally balanced and unbiased.
We are forever grateful to Dr Ryden for the help he afforded us, and the wonderful marriage which we now benefit from due to his guidance and support.
Having attended several couples therapy sessions, which have improved our relationship, I can safely say that Eric is the most professional psychologist I have ever met.
I am a psychologist myself and academic who has lived in several countries. For this reason, I do not hesitate to recommend The Bath Couples Therapy Practice to friends and colleagues.
In addition to Eric’s powerful therapy techniques, he is a warm person loaded with optimism, sensitivity and a refined sense of fairness that can be transferred to relationships.
As a humanist and a scientist, his awareness and sensibility to views of men, women and couples is commendable and perhaps unique.
Bath Couples Therapy Practice transformed our relationship. Over time, my husband and I had drifted apart and there had been, and were still ongoing, challenges.
The sessions helped us understand each other better and rediscover the joy of being together.
Dr Ryden’s compassionate, fair and evidence-based approach makes his services highly recommended.
Dr Ryden comes from a strong position of evidence-based practice, delivering services informed by rigorous research, knowledge, and experience.
I have known Dr Ryden for more than twenty years; we worked together as Psychologists and he is also an honest and caring friend.
Dr Ryden is a person who both personally and professionally exemplifies integrity. As Psychologists, people place their trust in us to help them and this takes courage and may be a frightening leap of faith.
Dr Ryden is also a kind and compassionate person who genuinely listens and understands. I would highly recommend Dr Ryden to anyone seeking couples therapy or individual counselling.
