Counselling Support for Individuals

Make An Appointment

Life can present many struggles and challenges, many of which we navigate on our own or with the support of family and friends. Sometimes, however, it may feel that we need something more than our usual support strategies. At this point counselling may help. If you are wondering if this is what you need I offer a free 30 minute phone call to talk through what support you want and how I may be able to help.

Hello! I'm Ruth

Registered Member MBACP

Hello, I'm Ruth, a qualified and registered BACP counsellor with over 15 years experience of individual counselling and group work in a variety of settings.

Life can be difficult and reaching out for the right help can feel confusing. I see my role as working alongside you on your journey, supporting you to develop your understanding and knowledge and find inner resources to implement lasting change. I will bring warmth, energy, experience and knowledge to our work together in the pursuit of your goals. I can offer sessions face to face or online with the flexibility of on-going or shorter term work.

My main training is psychodynamic but I like to work in a way that most benefits the individual so will draw on other training and knowledge to tailor the sessions to individual needs.

My areas of expertise include...

Abuse

Addictions

Anxiety

Child related issues

Depression

Eating disorders

Post-traumatic stress

Relationships

Self esteem

Self-harm

Stress

Substance dependency

Trauma

Women's issues

Work related issues

My Approach & Values

I believe that the most important aspect of counselling is to establish a safe, supportive and confidential relationship between counsellor and client. This is the bedrock of all the work that can be done and is what enables the process to thrive. With this in place, and a willingness on both sides to commit to the process, change is not only possible it is inevitable.

I offer an initial 30 minute telephone discussion free of charge prior to the first session.

Client Feedback

 

Ruth guided me through my healing journey from domestic abuse. I suffered anxiety and depression which meant at times I struggled to find my words, Ruth listened with patience and an understanding. I discovered so much about myself through many new thoughts which helped me grow as a person. I felt empowered with Ruth and I learnt to accept myself again. I was able to be open and honest with her, I didn't feel judged or 'silly' just feelings of empathy and warmth. Ruth is a professional and knowledgeable lady, her support has been life changing.
