More about Ruth

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP, NCPS

I am an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have significant experience of working with people at the end of their lives and working with their loved ones.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

I understand how common it is to feel a whirlpool of emotions including anger, guilt, worry or shame; and how these feelings can be overwhelming. For some, they are able to push these feelings away only to find themselves feeling flat and numb, and unable to find the joy that once came spontaneously.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I am looking forward to working with you therapeutically to make sense of the full range of your feelings.; and support you to understand and work with them in a more positive and constructive way, increasing your well-being.

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.
