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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
