Home Visit Therapist in Essex and London
Fully accredited CBT and EMDR therapy, in your own home, bringing structured, evidence-based sessions directly to you. No clinic, no commute, no compromise on quality.
Face to face therapy that comes to you
In-person therapy is usually pictured as travelling somewhere, waiting in a reception area, and fitting around a clinic’s diary. Home visits flip that around.
Ryan Hegarty comes to you. At your home, at a time that works, without the logistics of getting somewhere after a long day or between back-to-back commitments. For professionals and executives across Essex and London, that difference is often what makes private therapy genuinely workable rather than another thing to fit in.
This is not a watered-down version of in person therapy. It is face to face CBT and EMDR, delivered by a fully accredited therapist, in a space where you are already comfortable.
Home visit CBT, EMDR and CFT across Essex and London
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy done in the comfort of your own space. The same structured, evidence-based approach as clinic-based CBT; identifying the thoughts, behaviours and patterns maintaining the problem and applying techniques to change them. CBT is recommended by NICE as a first-line treatment for anxiety and depression.
EMDR is offered face to face, which for some clients is the preferred format for trauma-focused work. The evidence base is the same regardless of setting. EMDR is recommended by NICE for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Compassion Focused Therapy is done in person alongside CBT and EMDR. Used for clients working through self-criticism, perfectionism and shame where the other approaches alone do not cover the full picture.
All home visit sessions run 50 minutes. Cost depends on your location and is always confirmed before anything is booked. Most clients start with a free 20-minute discovery call.
Home visit therapy delivered by a BABCP-accredited therapist in Essex
There is a difference between a therapist who offers home visits as an afterthought and one who has built them into the practice as a deliberate choice. For many of my clients, coming to them is not a convenience add-on — it is the reason they are in therapy at all. The barrier of getting somewhere, at a fixed time, after a demanding day, was the thing standing between them and getting help.
I am Ryan Hegarty, a BABCP-accredited CBT and EMDR therapist based in Essex. I come to you with the same clinical background, the same evidence-based methods and the same structured approach as any clinic session, Broadmoor Hospital, NHS services, the University of Cambridge, none of that changes because the session is in your living room rather than an office. Every home visit is with me directly, not passed to an associate.
My accreditations are publicly verifiable via the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies and the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Can’t recommend highly enough!!!
Ryan was an exceptional trauma-informed CBT therapist and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very first session, he immediately made me feel relaxed, safe, and comfortable enough to open up about what was going on. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand and always made the techniques feel relevant and personal to my situation.
My time working with Ryan was very helpful and productive. I’ve had several counsellors over the years, and elements of Ryan’s approach were quite different and very suited to me. His manner is relaxed and empathetic. Whilst the time was taken to aid my understanding of myself, he also provided real tools and tactics that enabled me to put the changes I wanted to make into practice. This has often been the gap in the past that prevented me from making meaningful change. I’m doing well now, but wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Ryan, for a top up, or to work through another issue on the future. Thank you, Ryan.
Life Changing.
Ryan has been incredible throughout. His pragmatic approach and tools have helped me overcome a number of challenges which have built up over time.
His clear communication style and clarity ensured I was able to understand everything in the first instance and the awareness I developed with his help has significantly improved my view on many things and helped me be more accepting in certain situations which would have previously snow balled and got out of control.
Without question or doubt, I’d highly recommend Ryan. Thank you Ryan.
I couldn’t recommend Ryan more.
Ryan is a highly trained therapist, who you feel at ease with after just your first meeting. He speaks to you like you’re a real person and creates an environment that you feel that you can open up in. Ryan has real life applicable techniques which are easy to integrate into your day to day life. He genuinely has changed my life and way of thinking.
I have tried NHS and a few other therapy services. Slan Therapy was the one that stuck. Ryan is patient and lets you go at your own pace whilst also making sure you are progressing. He made me feel so at ease and I looked forward to the sessions instead of dreading them (like all the ones before). My life is now brighter since working with him. 100% recommend, his Irish self won’t let you down!
Ryan is a phenomenal practitioner of pyschotherapy and CBT. I started working with him on a personal recommendation and within a few sessions he had helped me not only understand (for the first time) what was going on for me, but also started equipping me with practical work that made a real difference.
