More about Ruth

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I became a listening volunteer for Samaritans in September 2021 and I still volunteer presently for them. Since July 2022, I have worked voluntarily for The Haven (a charity which supports women and children emotionally and practically who are victims of Domestic Abuse). I am now a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy since graduating with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, majoring in Person-Centred Therapy. I have experience in helping clients with loss & bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process using an integrative approach, employing the use of different modalities where necessary for your successful healing journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
